Re: [libvirt-users] Handling connection closes in (older) Sys::Virt

You definitely need to figure out how to set the SIGPIPE handler to
'ignore'. libvirt.so does not do this, because it is bad practice for
a library to set application global state like this. Not sure what
you tried, but I'd definitely expect this to work:
$SIG{'PIPE'} = 'IGNORE';
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but consider the following simple
test script. Perhaps this is a Debian issue?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys::Virt 0.9.2;
my $vmm = Sys::Virt->new(address => "qemu+ssh://root\@SOME.HOST/system")
or die;
$SIG{'PIPE'} = 'IGNORE';
$| = 1;
while (1) {
eval { my $dummy = $vmm->get_node_info };
print ".";
sleep 1;
}
Let's run it and go to SOME.HOST to kill the SSH process:
