Perl 5.8.0 has safe signal (http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perldelta.html#Safe-Signals) where signals are disabled during the execution of each op code.
Can we still claim safe signal in the case of an multi-threaded application where each thread has its own instance of perl engine (based on ithread)? Afterall, the scope of signal is per process, not per thread. If the answer is no, is there any way to work around it with perl 5.8.0 (other than mutex all threads)? Thanks.
