Hi,
I am the author of Sys::SigAction.
Some time back I excluded $Config('archname') =~ m/armv5tejl/ from
support in Sys::SigAction as a result of the conclusion we reached that
signal handling was not working as expected on that platform... That
was a very specific exclusion though.
About 6 months ago this ticket was opened on rt.cpan.org:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=105091
It would appear that it might be the case that limited support could be
provided for ARM hardware. So, if you are a tester on an ARM platform
and willing to help out please send me the output of
uname -a
and
perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config{'archname'}."\n";'
And, if you are willing run a few manual tests, could you replace
t/nested.t in Sys::SigAction (after building it) with the one I posted
in the above bug, execute it (as I asked at the end of the discussion
of in this bug), and send me the output?
With this information I will try to see if I can provide some level of
support for ARM platforms more generally.
Finally, if you have an armv5tejl platform (which I disabled), and you
want to bring it back you'll have to change the line (near line 65):
if ( $arch =~ m/armv5tejl/ )
in Makefile.PL to
if ( 0 )
to get Sys::SigAction to build.
Thanks,
Lincoln
