in thread When to use sigtrap, when to assign to %SIG?

Update: Something about this post "tweaked some go-buttons", I don't know why, but I think further posts make what I intended very clear. I can just strike this without changing the advice.

Alexander, Perl provides the basic signal functions on Windows meaning emulate.

The OP was asking about CTRL-C.
And I provided some code that runs even on Windows! Although the question was not about Windows.

If the question is about Windows specifically, lets start a new thread about it.

My advice and code stands for *nix also.

    No, he did not. The OP did not even mention CTRL-C. In fact, I'd say the question wasn't even about interrupt signals in particular. The OP asked a general, 3-parted question about signals, with only the last part actually mentioning a specific signal, where he was kind of forced (by the syntax) to use a signal name. You were the one mentioning CTRL-C, and started off about "well known" behaviours of text editors.
