I'm just use ing the CQLogin module in script A, so in this case I cannot use kill as there is no separate PID for script B, is that correct?

The thing is, in script B, CTRL-C will only ever be invoked during STDIN of subroutine autoLogon, so I tried to end script B during STDIN as follows:

handler: 
my $stop = 0;
$SIG{'INT'} = sub { $stop = 1 };

during STDIN: 
print "->CQ username: ";
while (<STDIN>){
  if ($stop == 1){
    return(0);    
  }
  last;
}
chomp ($username = <STDIN>);

the current problem with this is that, after pressing CTRL-C, the user will have to press the enter key again to exit script B. and if the user actually wants to pass in input, the input will need to be entered twice, but I guess I will have to work around this way for this problem.

Thanks!
