Currently the only thing you can do differently is manually whack that line out of your config.h and rebuild. That will cause Perl to use the CRTL's kill(), which is known to disappear into the ether when called from within a signal handler. So I'm not really recommending that change as you'd likely cause more problems than you solve. > >> I've never used Sys::SigAction, but from glancing at the test it does >> appear that masking of signals is not working in your Perl. > >The test is a bit hard to follow at first :-) Do note that version 0.06 has just appeared. I don't know if it will help with your issues, but it might. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
