=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<sigtrap> pragma is a simple interface to installing signal
handlers.  You can have it install one of two handlers supplied by
B<sigtrap> itself (one which provides a Perl stack trace and one which
simply C<die()>s), or alternately you can supply your own handler for it
to install.  It can be told only to install a handler for signals which
are either untrapped or ignored.  It has a couple of lists of signals to
trap, plus you can supply your own list of signals.

The arguments passed to the C<use> statement which invokes B<sigtrap>
are processed in order.  When a signal name or the name of one of
B<sigtrap>'s signal lists is encountered a handler is immediately
installed, when an option is encountered it affects subsequently
installed handlers.

=head1 OPTIONS

=head2 SIGNAL HANDLERS

These options affect which handler will be used for subsequently
installed signals.

=over 4

=item B<stack-trace>

The handler used for subsequently installed signals will output a Perl
stack trace to STDERR and then tries to dump core.  This is the default
signal handler.

=item B<die>

The handler used for subsequently installed signals calls C<die>
(actually C<croak>) with a message indicating which signal was caught.

=item B<handler> I<your-handler>

I<your-handler> will be used as the handler for subsequently installed
signals.  I<your-handler> can be any value which is valid as an
assignment to an element of C<%SIG>.

=back

=head2 SIGNAL LISTS

B<sigtrap> has two built-in lists of signals to trap.  They are:

=over 4

=item B<normal-signals>

These are the signals which a program might normally expect to encounter
and which by default cause it to terminate.  They are HUP, INT, PIPE and
TERM.

=item B<error-signals>

These signals usually indicate a serious problem with the Perl
interpreter or with your script.  They are ABRT, BUS, EMT, FPE, ILL,
QUIT, SEGV, SYS and TRAP.

=item B<old-interface-signals>

These are the signals which were trapped by default by the old
B<sigtrap> interface, they are ABRT, BUS, EMT, FPE, ILL, PIPE, QUIT,
SEGV, SYS, TERM, and TRAP.  If no signals or signals lists are passed to
B<sigtrap> this list is used.

=back

=head2 OTHER

=over 4

=item B<untrapped>

This token tells B<sigtrap> only to install handlers for subsequently
listed signals which aren't already trapped or ignored.

=item B<any>

This token tells B<sigtrap> to install handlers for all subsequently
listed signals.  This is the default behavior.

=item I<signal>

Any argument which looks like a signals name (that is,
C</^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*$/>) is taken as a signal name and indicates that
B<sigtrap> should install a handler for it.

=item I<number>

Require that at least version I<number> of B<sigtrap> is being used.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

Provide a stack trace for the old-interface-signals:

    use sigtrap;

Ditto:

    use sigtrap qw(stack-trace old-interface-signals);

Provide a stack trace on the 4 listed signals only:

    use sigtrap qw(BUS SEGV PIPE ABRT);

Die on INT or QUIT:

    use sigtrap qw(die INT QUIT);

Die on HUP, INT, PIPE or TERM:

    use sigtrap qw(die normal-signals);

Die on HUP, INT, PIPE or TERM, except don't change the behavior for
signals which are already trapped or ignored:

    use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals);

Die on receipt one of an of the B<normal-signals> which is currently
B<untrapped>, provide a stack trace on receipt of B<any> of the
B<error-signals>:

    use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals
		    stack-trace any error-signals);

Install my_handler() as the handler for the B<normal-signals>:

    use sigtrap 'handler', \&my_handler, 'normal-signals';

Install my_handler() as the handler for the normal-signals, provide a
Perl stack trace on receipt of one of the error-signals:

    use sigtrap qw(handler my_handler normal-signals
    	    	    stack-trace error-signals);
