Ok, that does help in the first case (ie: now the action is actually done.


*however* It doesn't help with the following script: 

use POSIX ':signal_h';

	sigaction SIGALRM, new POSIX::SigAction sub { print STDERR "alarmed"; };

	alarm(10);

	system("ftp earth.he.net");
	print STDERR "AM I HERE!!!\n";

This simply prints out alarmed and continues to wait for user input to ftp.
As per the manual, it should kill the child ftp process. and print "AM I HERE",
and then exit (note, no 'die' is in the alarm handler).
