I was composing this perl poem and I ran into a strange issue with the kill command. I've only used it once before (Perl 5.10.0 on Ubuntu) and it worked fine, but this time, every time I try to kill ALRM, $$, the program quits. I tried kill 14, $$, same issue. I had set a signal handler for SIGALRM:
$SIG{ALRM} = sub {
print "Alarming!\n";
};
...but it doesn't print. Any guesses as to what's going on here?
> perl -MConfig -e "print $Config{sig_name}"
ZERO HUP INT QUIT ILL NUM05 NUM06 NUM07 FPE KILL NUM10 SEGV NUM12 PIPE
+ ALRM TERM
NUM16 NUM17 NUM18 NUM19 CHLD BREAK ABRT STOP NUM24 CONT CLD
print pack("A25",pack("V*",map{1919242272+$_}(34481450,-49737472,6228,0,-285028276,6979,-1380265972)))

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).
