Be clear here: you can have a proper %SIG _handler_ for signals in Perl,
but the fact is that signals *themselves* are not handled properly and a
signal coming in at the wrong time can blow Perl out of the water. This
is a known problem/limitation of Perl and has been discussed extensively.
Folks writing signal-handling programs in perl are well advised to tread
VERY carefully.
