[Freeswitch-users] Perl Alarm Event

[Steven Ayre]

Actually it should be possible. At least on Linux all threads have their
own PID, which means running the perl script thread will receive the alarm
signal and it'll be isolated from other FreeSWITCH threads. perlrun just
needs to install its own signal handlers when started to capture that (and
possibly other) signals and pass them to the interpreter to be handled
internally, then restore the original signal handlers when the script
finishes. SIGALRM is often used for timeouts, so this could break a number
of Perl modules and prevent them being used from mod_perl.

Terminating the process is the default action on SIGALRM though, which is
why it currently exits freeswitch (FS doesn't install a signal handler of
its own, and mod_perl doesn't either).

I've already advised Usama on IRC to file a Jira.
