eval "use threads";
#belt and suspenders....

   Using Signals in a multi-thread perl application is unsupported 
   by Sys::SigAction.

   Sys::SigAction is not Supported on multi-threaded perls.

   Read the following from perldoc perlthrtut:

      ...mixing signals and threads should not be attempted.  
      Implementations are platform-dependent, and even the 
      POSIX semantics may not be what you expect (and Perl
      doesn't even give you the full POSIX API).

   You are on your own...

   };
}


I don't really like to depend on dev-lang/perl[-ithreads] as other packages need threads support. But what choice to i have?
