I tried the following which works fine for me on Windows 2000, build 817
(and every other build of perl that I have):
use warnings;
$SIG{INT} = \&my_handler;
$| = 1;
while(1) {
print ".";
sleep(1);
}
sub my_handler {print " Continuing on "}
__END__
Every time I hit Ctrl-C it just prints " continuing on ".
I installed the '.zip' - whereas I envisage that most others install the
'.msi'. I don't think that could account for the difference ... but I don't
know.
Cheers,
Rob
