Hi,
I have a requirement where I want to wait for user to input the data.
However if user doesn't input the data within certain period of time then it
should timeout and move ahead.
TIA

Take a look at the IO::Select module (perldoc IO::Select).

There's an example in the docs. See:
perldoc perlipc # look for keyword 'timeout'
