| Subject: | Pod Spelling Errors |
Hi:
In light of your responsiveness, I thought I'd take the time to forward this patch upstream to you. I apologize as this issue is pretty mundane...
There are some spelling errors in your PODs. Apparently this is a big deal to lintian (Debian's package checker), which caught these and issued a few warnings.
I have fixed it like so:

You can also specify which signals to catch in this way by listing them,
