This isn't your plugin timing out, it is Nagios killing you
plugin since it times out. The alarm doesn't appear to be
working.

If you want specific text /severity when the alarm trips, you need to
install a signal handler for alarm. I think it is is something
like:

$SIG{ALRM} = sub { print "Plugin timed out!"; exit 1;}
