Hello all. I am trying to ramp up a new utility, which accepts a ^C from the user, outputs running processes (ran by the script), and asks for the user prompt. I have tried something very simple. I spawn a sleep process, via Expect, and every time that I hit ^C, I expect PERL to output a message. The code is: 
require Expect;
use strict;
$SIG{'INT'}=sub {print "Al Bundy rules!\n";};
$SIG{CHLD}='IGNORE';
my $proc=Expect->spawn("sleep 10");
unless ($proc->expect(10,"Mommy")) {
    print "Stop selling women shoes\n"; 
}

Whe I hit ^c once, I get: 

liord@analog2 238 > tester.pl
Al Bundy rules!
Stop selling women shoes

And the script exits. I have expected the scipt NOT to exit after one ^c, but after n presses (or 10 seconds). What am I doing wrong? PERL version is: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
