Given this piece of code:
$sub = sub { exec "perl $0" };
$SIG{INT} = $sub;
$SIG{USR1} = $sub;
print ++$counter while 1;
Each signal handler works, but only once. After that type of signal has been delivered, that signal ceases to have an effect. Why is this so?
Edit: My test code was basically the same as sh1tn's, and I get this output, from perl v5.8.1-RC3, running under OS X 10.3.8:

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).
