Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
If a user hits stop in his browser, the Perl cgi is killed. I would like to know how this works and
how to catch the termination in order to have time to clean up a few things. I have tried to catch
all the signals I knew but it doesn't seem to work that way. Could sby give me some help on this ?
Thanks. |

If you're running under mod_perl, take a look at
this section
of the mod_perl guide and the Apache::SIG module. | [reply] |

btrott's answer is correct. If you are not using mod_perl or Apache::SIG
(i.e. you don't have any control over the webserver used)
Then you have to catch SIGPIPE on stdout. Set up your program
to do this and you should be ok. Basically, you just have to
catch the signal on the perl side of things before the web
server's handler does the work for you.
