I've got the signal handler operational, but I'm still a little puzzled by what was going on...only discovered by dropping deep into the debugger! What I thought was the process hitting the sleep was actually the process disappearing into an Oracle DBI call and not coming out as there was a format conversion error in the SQL . DBI didn't return an error - it just hung and was uninterruptible, and I'm now guessing that the Oracle DBD module was resetting the signal handlers so my signals were ignored. Either way, correcting the SQL has resulted in a process that not only runs and produces required outcome but stops when asked!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
