Re^4: Print inside SIGNALS

[ikegami]

If your C library's print function isn't re-entrant (many aren't), then there's always a chance that weird things happen when the signal goes off while your code is printing something.

That's not true for two reasons:

• print doesn't use clib.
• Since Perl 5.8.1, signals are deferred to be handled between Perl ops.

Thanks for the correction! The rule "don't print in signal handling" stuck with me for too long, I should have checked this.
