[comp.lang.perl] perl ignores signals

jhh@sprite.Berkeley.EDU (John H. Hartman) (11/24/90)

Why does Perl ignore SIGINT while doing a wait4pid()?
My experience with Perl is that the INT signal is ignored almost
all of the time.  Once a Perl script starts spewing unwanted stuff
I'd like to be able to send it a ctrl-C (SIGINT) and have it stop.
