Just so I understand the Guide - You can safely localize $SIG{ALRM} in 1.21
and Perl 5.005_03, but not other signal handlers?

In:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/debug.html#Debugging_Signal_Handlers_SIG_

The Sys::Signal example is a bit confusing to me, as it uses $SIG{ALRM} in
the example.  Yet that seems like the one signal where you don't need to
use Sys::Signal.  Was the example of Sys::Signal written before the
$SIG{ALRM} fix?

Thanks,
