I created a new account with /bin/tcsh as a shell, deleted all the dot
files in that new account, logged in on a linux console and run the
perl command above. It prints IGNORE.
tcsh is: tcsh-6.14-15
perl is: perl-5.8.8-23.fc7
So I have an older version of tcsh than you do.
I looked at the src.rpm for my version of tcsh and it has a patch that
tinkers with signal handling (not with SIGPIPE, but still...). I'll
try to install your version of tcsh tonight, and maybe build my
version without any patches.

What should I look for?
