RedHat 8.0 and POE not terminating cleanly

[Nancy Grady]

I'm still struggling to find out what is wrong. In an earlier post I
explained I had the RedHat 8.0 standard perl installation, and the
POE example code would now no longer clean up and exit.

From the response from sungo (Matt) suggesting it was the threads,
I recompiled perl 5.8.0 to leave out thread and multi.

Still The sample code doesn't exit as it should.

(PS I tacked the subdirectory Tools/ to the end so it wouldn't run
so long during testing)


Is there a workaround or something I need to explictly terminate?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I run interactively, and
hit a control-C on the command line the
$poe_kernel->run;
does return and the program ends gracefully.

I'm including a copy of my perl -V in case I just messed up the compile
and didn't get the threads out of there.
