Hi ikegami,

That's a good point and infact I tried exec first (that's why use of setpgrp).  But problem is I also need to capture <stdin> in my app. Here is example:

> cat app.pl
print "continue? "; $yesno=<STDIN>; print "--$yesno";

> perl fixed.pl 5 perl -e 'system("perl app.pl")'
continue? y
alarmed out
sent kill signal to 1
^C

> perl test.pl 5 perl -e 'system("perl app.pl")'
continue? y
--y
Child exit status: 0 signal: 0

Is there any way to map <STDIN> in fixed.pl ?
