catch_int\catch_hup subroutine

Has anyone ever used a routine to process signals in a Perl module?

In one of my Perl scripts I have two subroutines defined:

sub catch_hup
sub catch_int

In the main body of my code, I set them up as follows:

$SIG{HUP} = \&catch_hup;
$SIG{INT} = \&catch_int;

This is all defined in the same script file. I would like to move the
subroutine definitions to a Perl module so that I can reuse these
definitions in different Perl scripts. So when I add the two
subroutines (catch_hup and catch_int) into my Module.pm file, I would
like to call them as follows:

$SIG{INT} = Module->catch_hup;
$SIG{HUP} = Module->catch_int;

Is that even possible with Perl? The code that works was inherited and
I have a basic understanding of how it works. Currently I have other
subroutines defined in my Perl module that work fine. However, I'm
sure with signals, it doesn't work the same.

Any help would be appreciated!

Perl rookie!
