Hi,

I'm having a problem with signals in Perl.  In my program, I've put statements
like:

  $sig{'INT'}='IGNORE';

However, it seems that it has no effect (i.e. I can still interrupt the
program).  I've also tried setting up a signal handler and when the interrupt
occurs, the signal handler is never called.  Anybody have any ideas what I'm
doing wrong?

Thanks,
