# New Ticket Created by Doug Sibley # Please include the string: [perl #24174] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=24174 > In perl-5.8.0-55 (and others likely), when I do a perl program: sleep; exit; # or exit(0); then give a SIGALRM to to the process, I always get the exit code of 14 (from the following c program): #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { int d = system("/testscript.pl"); printf("%s%d\n","Exit code ", d); } I think this is a bug in perl. -- Doug Sibley <das@decisionsoft.com>
