Title:
  print returning EINTR

Status in “perl” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There is a bug in perl 5.14 , which was fixed in later versions:
  https://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119097 (fix and testcases included)

  Problem is that print(), read() can fail if interrupted. ( testcase
  for read http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1026468 )

  Perl code, that run into this bug, can mistakely decide that there is
  EOF of data coming from pipe/socket, this can lead to data loss if
  happens in critical perl applications.

  perhaps it worth to backport the fix?

  Currently problem reproducable on Ubuntu 12.04 with lates updates.
