Try : $SIG{SIGTERM} = sub { ..something..} ; #-- in perl
this is equivalent to trap '... something...' SIGTERM thanks, Jay -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: traps in perl All, Is there a method or module that allows you to create a trap? For instance, in ksh or any shell I can create a system trap that will disallow any keystroke, other than the expected user input specifically cntrl C, D, \ or U. All of these are mapped to a SIGNAL in /usr/include/sys/signal.h. thanks Derek B.
