Well, why it does work on Indigoperl 5.6.1 (Win32, ActivePerl-compatible), I do get a "illegal instruction" fatal error on Win98 — known on other platforms as a segfault. So the old behaviour isn't any better than the new one.

Well, the page that snax pointed to says "... there are serious caveats, such as inability to die() or exit() from a signal handler.".

p.s. Did alarm() get fixed on 5.8.x? Because on perl5.6.x/Win32, it doesn't interrupt a sleep(), like it does (and should) on other platforms.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
