Re: Perl DBI sets $SIG{PIPE} to 'IGNORE'

I'm no software engineer, but given that it is known that some of the  
libraries used by DBI 'mess with' signal dispositions in apparently  
unknown ways,
would it not make sense for DBI.pm to preserve the state of %SIG on  
entry and reinstate it on disconnect/END/EXIT

cheers
