thanks for the quick response!
but could you give me an example of what syntax goes in { .... something 
.... } ;

so 


trap { ... example ... }   so SIGNAL(s) would be inside the curly braces?

Try :

$SIG{SIGTERM} = sub { ..something..} ;  #-- in perl

this is equivalent to trap '... something...' SIGTERM 
thanks,

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
