perl-Sys-SigAction - Perl extension for Consistent Signal Handling

Description:
Prior to version 5.8.0 perl implemented 'unsafe' signal handling. The
reason it is consider unsafe, is that there is a risk that a signal will
arrive, and be handled while perl is changing internal data structures.
This can result in all kinds of subtle and not so subtle problems. For this
reason it has always been recommended that one do as little as possible in
a signal handler, and only variables that already exist be manipulated.
