    I assume you mean: $ENV{PERL_SIGNALS} = "unsafe"; Thanks for the idea, but no luck I am afraid.

      I believe that you have to set the environment variable before invoking Perl, not within Perl. My reading of perl.c suggests that Perl sets the appropriate internal flag before parsing the script.
