I assume you mean Perl signal handlers. I'd always assumed that the
Event signal handling was all in C and therefore safe.
I note that the documentation is entirely silent about the relation
between Perl signal handling and Event signal handling. What happens
if you mix-n-match? Is this totally verboten?
Is the situation
a) Event takes over all signals
b) Event takes over signals as/when watchers are installed?
Is the Perl signal handler restored if a watcher is removed?
c) Something else
Yes, I know I could read the source to find out, but I'm too lazy. :-)
