Synopsis: When killed Perl should flush output buffers

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: tobez
State-Changed-When: Sat Nov 10 09:20:40 PST 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
> When the Perl interpreter is killed with SIGINT or SIGTERM (and
> probably many other trappable signals), it doesn't flush its output
> buffers.

It should not.  If you want this functionality, set your own signal
handlers ($SIG{INT} = sub { ... }; $SIG{TERM} = sub { ... };).  It is
not the job of the interpreter to do this.  Perl, just like C, uses
stdio, which is buffered by default.  In C, just like in Perl, you will
have to set your own signal handlers if you want to flush the buffers on
a signal.
