Re: system() requires double ctrl-c

[perlfan]

I am not trying to minimize your complaint, but anytime I've ever had to:

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl
    system("some_long_running_shell_command");
    some_other_stuff();

I just wrote a shell script that did "some_long_running_shell_command", then called a Perl script...but that's just me.
