I am new to perl and am working on a short little script that needs to catch a SIGINT signal.
I am working on a small embedded linux system with busybox.

Here is a brief snippet of how I setup my signal handler: 
$SIG{INT} = \&intHandler;                                             
+     

...
                                                                      
+                                        
sub intHandler {
  ...
}

When I run the script I get the following message (but it continues to run the rest of the script: 
$ ./wdminterface.pl
No such signal: SIGINT at ./wdminterface.pl line 40 (#1)
     
    (W signal) You specified a signal name as a subscript to %SIG that
+ was not recognized.
    Say kill -l in your shell to see the valid signal names on your sy
+stem.

Running kill -l confirms that I have that signal: 
$ kill -l
 1) SIGHUP           2) SIGINT           3) SIGQUIT          4) SIGILL
 5) SIGTRAP          6) SIGABRT          7) SIGBUS           8) SIGFPE
 9) SIGKILL         10) SIGUSR1         11) SIGSEGV         12) SIGUSR

I'm I missing something simple here? I can't figure out why it won't find the signal. Is this a problem with my perl code, perl setup or linux setup?
