Re: win32, ctrl-c, sleep, and signals

[jesuashok]

Hi

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

$SIG{INT} = 'handleit';

while (1) {
  print "still here...\n";
  sleep 30;
}

sub handleit {
  print "I caught it.";
  exit(1);
}

I tried the above code in windows it works for me.

I've tried it on w2k and I get the same issue. If I control C before the first print it exits without the die message.
Weird.

Hi

The reason could be die raises a signal. so Inside a signal handler, If a signal getting raised it will lead to misleading result. that is what happened in your code.

Remove the die and use exit there. I have updated my node accordingly. use the same code and try in your important.

That will work.

That will work.

Afraid not. :-) Still doesn't work for me. Peculiar.

Thanks for trying it.
