I was rewriting an old beaten-up shell script in perl (of course)
and noticed that there's no obvious way to duplicate sh's easy way
of creating an exit handler (using trap cmd 0).  Is there any way to
trap signal 0 in perl?  Or is there some other exit handler
mechanism?  I thought of appropriating some other signal and killing
myself with that signal number.  This seems messy, but I'll do it if
there's no other way...
