Why wasn't the %INC handler called?

What the heck is an " %INC handler"?

Update: assuming you mean %SIG handler; I think this demonstrates that the Perl Windows sig emulation has code to prevent a process from attempting to signal itself:

C:\test>start /b perl -E"say $$; sleep 10000"

C:\test>192904

C:\test>perl -E"kill 21, 192904 or die $^E"
Terminating on signal SIGBREAK(21)

C:\test>perl -E"kill 21, $$ or say $^E; say 'ending';"
The parameter is incorrect
ending

It doesn't make a great deal of sense to signal yourself to invoke a subroutine when you can just:

C:\test>perl -wE"$SIG{BREAK}=sub{ say 'BREAKing' }; &{$SIG{BREAK}}; sa
+y 'ending'; "
BREAKing
ending

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
