Bug #128820 for Sys-SigAction: Possible bug in timeout

Subject:	Possible bug in timeout_call

Hello Lincoln, Thanks for your excellent work on this module. This is my first bug report for a CPAN module, so I hope I am following the correct protocol. I am using Sys-SigAction-0.23 on RHEL 7 (3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64) running perl 5.16.3. On line 169 there is a numeric comparison to a hash reference. This produced warnings and was causing the routine to die with the hash reference instead of returning the integer 1 indicating timeout. Replacing the line: die $@ if $@ and (not ref $@ or $@ != TIMEDOUT); with die $@ if $@ and (not ref $@ or %@); solved the problem for me, but I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior. Is this indeed a bug? Regards, -- Glenn
