Thanks, that's kind of what I suspected, but wanted to confirm. I am a bit surprised though that a SIG{INT} does not automatically cause the DESTROY functions to be called. Just for completeness sake, does a SIG{INT} cause the END block to execute? P.S. I actually am using File::Temp in my code to generate the temporary file. However, because of system constraints, I cannot rely on any temporary directory other than pwd, and according to the documentation:
Note that if a temp directory is your current directory, it cannot be removed. chdir() out of the directory first before calling cleanup(). (For the cleanup at program exit when the CLEANUP flag is set, this happens automatically.)
