Here is a little fun script, as an alternative to a temp file. I got the idea from Can't catch signals after an exec?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use POSIX();
$|=1;
END { exec $0 } #needed to catch internal die's
my $sub = sub { exec $0 };
# POSIX unmasks the sigprocmask properly
my $sigset = POSIX::SigSet->new();
my $action = POSIX::SigAction->new(
$sub, $sigset, &POSIX::SA_NODEFER );
POSIX::sigaction(&POSIX::SIGINT, $action);
POSIX::sigaction(&POSIX::SIGUSR1, $action);
POSIX::sigaction(&POSIX::SIGTERM, $action);
# can still be killed with a kill -9 or SIGKILL
# but kill -15 or SIGTERM will restart
my $counter = 0;
while(1){
print ++$counter,"\n";
if($counter == 4){die}
sleep 1;
}
__END__

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.
