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.

See the section on Pragmatic Modules in the perlmod manpage.
