I was not able to reproduce the problem you report. Can you give more explicit instructions to do this?

The following from perlipc may be of interest to you:

For example, to trap an interrupt signal, set up a handler like this: 
           sub catch_zap {
               my $signame = shift;
               $shucks++;
               die "Somebody sent me a SIG$signame";
           }
           $SIG{INT} = ’catch_zap’;  # could fail in modules
           $SIG{INT} = \&catch_zap;  # best strategy

In other words, you may want to change your handler definitions to something like: 
$SIG{'INT'}  = \&sigint_catcher;

Can you elaborate on why you want to turn this into a class?
