I'd recommend to treat %SIG as magic and not to expect local %SIG to have useful effects

perlvar says

> Due to an implementation glitch, the $SIG{__DIE__} hook is called even inside an "eval()".

this is a strong hint that the implementation doesn't always resolve %SIG like with normal variables ( well, that's why it's called a "special variable" anyway)

local %SIG looks wrong anyway since you are disabling all default settings of a running system

  DB<100> \%SIG

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
