Howdy all,

While messing about with signals recently I noticed this: 

C:\Src>perl -MDDS -e "Dump \%SIG"
$HASH1 = {
           __DIE__  => undef,
           __WARN__ => undef,
           ABRT     => undef,
           ALRM     => undef,
           BREAK    => undef,
           CHLD     => undef,
           CLD      => undef,
           CONT     => undef,
           FPE      => undef,
           HUP      => undef,
           ILL      => undef,
           INT      => undef,
           KILL     => undef,
           NUM05    => undef,
           NUM06    => undef,
           NUM07    => undef,
           NUM10    => undef,
           NUM12    => undef,
           NUM16    => undef,
           NUM17    => undef,
           NUM18    => undef,
           NUM19    => undef,
           NUM24    => undef,
           PIPE     => undef,
           QUIT     => undef,
           SEGV     => undef,
           STOP     => undef,
           TERM     => undef
         };

C:\Src>perl -MData::Dumper -e "print Dumper \%SIG"
$VAR1 = {
          'ABRT' => undef,
          'BREAK' => undef,
          'HUP' => undef,

          'NUM18' => undef,
          'NUM17' => undef,
          'STOP' => undef,
          'NUM24' => undef,
          'NUM10' => undef,
          'INT' => undef,
          'SEGV' => undef,
          'QUIT' => undef,
          'KILL' => undef,
          'PIPE' => undef,
          'NUM05' => undef,
          'CONT' => undef,
          '__WARN__' => undef,
          'NUM06' => undef,
          'NUM07' => undef,
          'ILL' => undef,
          'TERM' => undef,
          'ALRM' => undef,
          'CHLD' => undef

In the Data::Dumper output, the entry in the %SIG hash for __DIE__ is missing, but when using Data::Dump::Streamer it appears. I suspect DDS is correct.

1. Is DDS indeed correct? 2. If so, why is __DIE__ missing in the latter? This is mainly curiosity on my part.

For info, This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Binary build 1004 (287188) provided by ActiveState

Update: and Data::Dump::Streamer $VERSION='2.09' $XS_VERSION='2.07', Data::Dumper $VERSION=2.121_14

Thanks for any insight! :)
