Well, you have timeout.rb in the standard distribution

# = timeout.rb
#
# execution timeout
#
# = Synopsis
#
# require 'timeout'
# status = Timeout::timeout(5) {
# # Something that should be interrupted if it takes too much time...
# }
#
# = Description
#
# A way of performing a potentially long-running operation in a thread, and terminating
# it's execution if it hasn't finished by a fixed amount of time.
#
# Previous versions of timeout didn't provide use a module for namespace. This version
# provides both Timeout.timeout, and a backwards-compatible #timeout.
