Eric:
Just a thought - if there was a more general module, you could still
have it default to detecting global %SIG changes. It might be
beneficial to have similar reminders for other modules that shouldn't
be messed with, like changes to the $ENV{PATH}.
But I'm no expert in any of this. I just think you can have better
reusability while not compromising your ease of use, by setting
reasonable defaults and allowing those defaults to be overridden for
the special cases.
Cheers,
Jon
