Signal handler question

zoryn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When using a signal handler subroutine, is it possible to call another subroutine from the one called by the signal handler? I can't seem to do it, I'm posting the relevant code here. "print_header" is the subroutine I'm trying to call, without success.

$SIG{INT} = 'aborted';

sub aborted {
    print_header;
    print "Aborted\n";
    exit 1;
}

EDIT: I'm sorry, the subroutine name was wrong...

So where are you setting up the signal handler? "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Solved. Well, it's before the subroutine declarations, obviously that's the problem. I don't know how I didn't think of that. Sorry about that, thanks.	[reply]
