$sig is just a scalar I use to determine when the loop should stop.

until ($sig) {
    # do some stuff
}

I declare $sig earlier with our in attempt to disqualify any scoping issues as the source of problems. I'm going to try it on another box with the same set up and see if I have the same issue.

Update:
I tried it on a different server running the same OS and version Perl, with the same result.

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.
