--- Begin Message ---Package: libterm-readline-gnu-perl Version: 1.13-1.1 Severity: normal Tags: sid When using Term::ReadLine::Gnu, if you specify a signal handler for $SIG{INT} then the signal is not handled until 'return' is pressed as well. The following program shows the behaviour: ===== START ==== #!/usr/bin/perl use Term::ReadLine; $SIG{INT} = sub { die "Ctrl+C hit\n" }; my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'Test'; my $type = $term->ReadLine(); die "This test is for Term::ReadLine::Gnu\n" unless $type =~ /::Gnu$/i; print STDERR "Hit Ctrl+C\n"; while ( my $input = $term->readline( "test >" ) ) {} === END === If you try pressing Ctrl+C, the program should exit straight away, but in fact you need to press return before the signal handler is executed. This is different behaviour from Term::ReadLine::Perl which handles it straight away. The behaviour changed in perl 5.8, so probably the signal changes, however perldelta(1) says (under 'Safe Signals' ): Note that breaking out from potentially blocking operations should still work, though. Unfortunatly I dont know perl well enough to have a go at patching this :( Cheers Crispin -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux pallas 2.4.16 #1 Thu Dec 20 17:16:50 GMT 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages libterm-readline-gnu-perl depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-14 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-8 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline4 4.3-4 GNU readline and history libraries ii perl 5.8.0-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.8.0 5.8.0-12 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis -- no debconf information
