in reply to The process that would not die

First look for stuff that updates signal handling (code manipulating %SIG) and put diagnostics in any handlers that might get invoked. If that doesn't turn up anything comment out code until the problem goes away, then put it back a bit at a time until the problem comes back :).

    I can't find any code touching the signal handler at all. (The only internals that get mucked with is AUTOLOAD.)

    I guess I will have to build a signal handler for it and see when and if it gets called.
