Seems like the interruption terminated the child. So far I haven't seen anything in the Poddoc manual.

Resetting the signal handler depends on the system and whether its safe system calls or not. I'd rather be safe if I'm porting it to another system ..

If you're ever thinking of porting to a Windows system, you should expect everything involving forking and external signals to break. That's because on the platform Perl emulates forking with multithreading, and that emulation may not work well with whatever emulation you find of Unix signals.	[reply]
