As I wrote to you in response to your private message, I get the
INT signal even while waiting for <> input (pressing Ctrl-C when
the program waits for input):
C:\>perl -e "$SIG{INT} = sub { print qq(This works\n) }; <>"
This works
C:\>perl -e "print $ActivePerl::VERSION"
817
This is running on Windows XP from cmd.exe. Is there anything special
about your setup? Could you try this on a different box?
Cheers,
