PAR-Packer version 1.025
I just used pp to package my app to exe. It's running well however in my
app I catch the $SIG{'INT'} event (ctrl-c) so that I can do some clean up
steps before ending. However, since pp actually creates a parent exe and
this exe does not ignore ctrl-c events, the parent closes but my app keeps
running but it doesn't run properly without the parent app and does not
exit.
I was previously using perl2exe and everything was behaving as expected. I
switched to pp since perl2exe support stopped at perl 5.16.
I think the pp "parent" exe should be catching signals and send them over
to the child app - and it should not close, otherwise, the app is not
behaving as intended.
