Please, I'd like to know, why SIPIPE is not trapped after aborting a CGI connection and using sleep()?
Testcase:
1. Uploaded CGI to webserver
2. fetched it with browser
3. After 5-10 seconds hit abort button in browser
4. Inspect debug.txt
5. Only END output is in debug file.
#!/usr/bin/perl
$SIG{PIPE} = sub {
open my $fh, '>>', 'debug.txt';
print $fh "Debug: died PIPE.\n";
close $fh;
CORE::die "Pipe: @_\n";
};
$| = 1;
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI ();
my $q = CGI->new();
print $q->header();
print "output #1\n";
warn "Debug: RUNNING";
sleep 30;
print "output #2\n";
END {
open my $fh, '>>', 'debug.txt';
print $fh "Debug: END block.\n";
close $fh;
}
Then i thought, using pragma traphandler would help so solve the prob. I tried use sigtrap 'handler' => \&my_handler, 'normal-signals'; to trap SIGPIPE, without any effort.
After removing sleep in my testcase the trapping of SIGPIPE by my signal handler works fine.
Why does sleep disable signal trapping and the installed signal handler? Can yo explain this ti me?

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>

<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

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).
