What is the state of signals and events support? As far as I can tell from watching which perl 5 regression tests fail or hang under parrot, currently parrot can't behave as a passive embedding target - it assumes that it needs to take ownership of all signals.
Is this likely to change soon? Currently ponie has had to add various skip blocks to perl 5 regression tests that throw/catch signals, and this doesn't seem ideal as it implies that code changes would also be needed by existing CPAN code to work properly under ponie. Nicholas Clark
