Re^4: Controlling a Perl Daemon with Signals

[jch341277]

sk - I agree, it depends on what handle_request actually does. I just figured that it doesn't deal with the interruption gracefully; mainly because on my first attempt to run the code my handle_request looked like this:

sub handle_request {
   sleep 13;
   return 1;
}

Which looked like it was doing what the OP is having trouble with.
