POE::Component::IRC catching signals...

japhy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I cannot get my POE::Component::IRC bot to catch any signal except "INT". I'm modifying the dicebot.pl example that comes with the module.

# this one works fine...
$kernel->sig( INT => "sigint" );

# this one does nothing!
$kernel->sig( USR1 => "interactive" );

Yes, there is an "interactive" method. And I've tried numerous different signal names. What am I missing?

Just to double-check - there's an `interactive` method, but is there an "interactive" event registered that points to your method? I'm looking at this code as I ask.	[reply] [d/l]
