Actually, somehow with perl -n it can tell if it's being piped into
and you can -t STDIN. That doesn't seem to work otherwise. Is there a
way of telling if it's being piped in data otherwise so that I can
present a message? Right now, I have:
BEGIN {
  $SIG{INT} = sub { blah }
}

But, as this requires a user to kill the process in order to get a
help message, this isn't ideal.
