in reply to Signal Handling throws Core Dump

Not sure if this is of any help (because on the Solaris 10 box I have within reach, there's only an older Perl installed), but just in case: the following works fine here

#!/usr/bin/perl our $sig; # same for my $sig $SIG{INT} = \&handler; sub handler { print "got SIGINT\n"; $sig++; } until ($sig) { print "running...\n"; sleep 1; } print "terminated.\n";

outputs as expected (until/when I send it SIGINT)

running... running... running... got SIGINT terminated.

Can you produce a backtrace, loading your core file in a debugger (gdb perl core, then, at the prompt, typing "bt" — in case you have gdb available, that is...)? This might give a first hint at where things are going wrong. (A perl binary built with debugging info would be better, of course...)
