    volks,

    has anyone else bumped heads with the 5.8.1
    perlio layer where the old school tie

            chomp(my $line = <STDIN>);

    now pops out if a sig handler is called
    on a signal, such as SIG_CHLD???

    I just did the upgrade and got bitten
    with that silly demo code about doing
    command line arguments. Since right
    before the upgrade the code did what I
    expected it to do under 5.6.1 and then
    afterwards it was popping out of it and
    whining about a chomp on an un-initialized
    variable, yada-yada-yada...

    So that command line demo code has come
    around to be usefuler than merely the expected
    intellectual amusement.
