Couldn't just send a signal to yourself to awaken the sleeping kids/threads? Here is a forking example:
[root@devel3 logtest]# cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
$SIG{INT} = sub { print "Caught zap in $$\n"; exit };
if ( my $pid = fork() ) {
print "Parent Start\n";
sleep 5;
local $SIG{INT} = sub{ print "Parent $$ ignoring zap\n" };
kill 2 => $pid, $$;
sleep 10;
print "Parent exit!\n";
}
else {
print "Child start\n";
sleep 10;
print "Child exit!\n";
}
[root@devel3 logtest]# ./test.pl
Parent Start
Child start
Parent 21850 ignoring zap
Caught zap in 21851
Parent exit!
[root@devel3 logtest]#

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
