I keep getting the following runtime warning, before reaping the first child process: 
Argument "CHLD" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/5.
+6.0/i386-linux/POSIX.pm line 38.

There seems to be no side effects. The code that causes it (if I'm not mistaken) is as follows: 
use POSIX qw( :sys_wait_h );

$SIG{CHLD} = \&REAPER;

sub REAPER {
        my $kid;
        while (($kid = waitpid (-1, &WNOHANG)) > 0) {
                if (exists $Children{$kid}) {
                        $::logger->info ("Process: $Children{$kid} rea
+ped");
                        $children --;
                        delete $Children{$kid};
                }
        }
        $SIG{CHLD} = \&REAPER;
}

Any ideas out there?
