Hi people,

I am working on a Perl program that needs to get interrupts from the
operating system (I am working on Ubuntu 11.04). So I searched for
information on inter process communication in Perl, and got a lot of results
that are more or less repetitions of what is written in Larry Wall's book,
Programming Perl. Unfortunately, none of these gives any info about the
packages/modules which one needs to include at the top of the script to make
the whole IPC thing work. So, when I try running the following code snippet
(taken from the same book):

print "signal #17 = $signame[17]\n";

I get the output

signal #17 =

which means, I think, that there is some package/module which I have not
included.

Since catching signals is what I need to do, please tell me what I need to
write at the top of the script to get access to the signal catching
functionality of Perl.

Thanks,
Mihir.
