Check perl.com, they probably have one listed. comp.lang.perl.misc used to be
great for this, but they're very big into RTFM, since it has an excellent M to
R :)

Well, that's kind of tough. You probably want a system command to exec an
external command, but in order to deal with ctrl+c, you'll have to trap the
key sequence yourself, and deal with it elsewhere in your code.
