Subject: Insecure dependency on $SIG{CHILD}
IPC::Run will fail to get the return status of any child if $SIG{CHLD} is set. This should at least trigger a warning e.g. in line 3349 'warn ... if defined $SIG{CHLD};' Also if this happens, line 3390 sets '$kid->{RESULT} = "unknown result, unknown PID" ;', but then line 3518 will try to 'return map $_->{RESULT} >> 8, @{$self->{KIDS}} ;' --- which will lead to a warning about the non-numerical value in '>>'.

Alright, I'll look into adding this warning. Show quoted text

The next release to CPAN in 1-3 days will include a fix for this warning, thanks. - R.
