Untested

Did you set A to ignore and B to handle the signal? Please show some code, so that the monastery can help you find the problem.

Update: As stated below, you will probably need to, after forking, set the process group and/or pass along the signal from A to B.

Yes, I've tried that:

Script A:
$SIG{'INT'} = 'IGNORE';

Script B:
$SIG{'INT'} = sub { exit(0); };

With this, CTRL-C has no effect on either script.
Using die instead of exit has the same result.

Also, script B is called from script A as follows:


my $login = new CQLogin();
$login->autoLogon();

autoLogon is a subroutine in script B (CQLogin)

Thanks.

In script A do:
$SIG{INT} = sub { kill 2, $pid_of_scriptB;};

Should work, not tested.

This is still unclear, reason is, do you  fork in CQLogin? If you don't you're just  useing the module invoking a method on the instantiated object within the same process and the whole process will just terminate on Ctrl-C
