in thread weird ctrl-z behaviour when piping from tin through perl

Sorry, but that is not what I asked. Just type 
perl -pel

[download]
from the shell prompt. This should simply allow you to type a line (with no echo), and see what you typed every time you hit enter. It should not end until you hit ctrl-C. At this point, what happens when you type ctrl-Z? If it suspends properly, then I would have to assume that it is some problem dealing with process-group signaling in NetBSD. If it does not suspend properly, then your build of perl is the problem.

    Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. 

    # perl -pel

    So your suggestion is that there's some problem with process-group signaling. Any hints on example code that might break, or where in perl's code I should look, or other suggestions?

    Thank you.
