Re^2: Unix real time signals

[samtregar]

If you "use warnings" you'll see:

No such signal: SIGSIGRTMIN+5 at rt.pl line 5.

I can't get anything to work with the +5 stuff, but this code works:

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

$SIG{'RTMIN'} = \&on_sig;

print $$, "\n";
while (1) {
    sleep 1;
    print ".\n";
}

sub on_sig {
    my $sig = shift;
    print "somebody told me $sig";
}

When I send it a signal like this:

$ kill -s SIGRTMIN 763

I get:

somebody told me RTMIN.
