in reply to disable ctrl+c in my program

ctrl-c sends what's know as a signal to the OS. The OS then sends that signal to your program. Read up on the %SIG hash. I believe you're looking for $SIG{KILL}, though I could be mistaken.

    Eh, no. SIGKILL is one of two signals you cannot ignore (the other is SIGSTOP). SIGKILL is what you get if you do kill -9 PID. ^C typically sends SIGINT. So, you would have to do SIG {INT} = 'IGNORE'.
