sigtrap

# NAME

sigtrap - Perl pragma to enable stack backtrace on unexpected signals

# SYNOPSIS

        use sigtrap;
        use sigtrap qw(BUS SEGV PIPE SYS ABRT TRAP);

# DESCRIPTION

The `sigtrap` pragma initializes some default signal handlers that print a stack dump of your Perl program, then sends itself a SIGABRT. This provides a nice starting point if something horrible goes wrong.

By default, handlers are installed for the ABRT, BUS, EMT, FPE, ILL, PIPE, QUIT, SEGV, SYS, TERM, and TRAP signals.
