Bug #91615 for POE: Provide option to enable ISIG (and handling of arbitrary signals)

Subject:

Provide option to enable ISIG (and handling of arbitrary signals)

It would be nice to be able to catch and handle arbitrary UNIX signals, such as SIGINT. A use case example is in POE::Wheel::Readline, where ^C could be caught and start a new input line. Thanks! http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/glibc-2.2.3/html_chapter/libc_17.html

I'm of the impression that POE::Kernel's documented signal handling facilities can already handle SIGINT (and any other signal present in %SIG). POE::Wheel::ReadLine's default inputrc maps C-c to the interrupt function, which returns a special INTERRUPT value. It could be made to handle other signal-generating terminal input in a similar way. If this is insufficient for your needs, I'm afraid I don't understand how it's deficient. I'm marking this ticket rejected for now, since it doesn't seem to cover new ground. If you can tell me why that's wrong, please go ahead. Your reply will automatically reopen the ticket. Thank you.

I seem to have forgotten to actually flag this ticket as rejected. Doing that now.
