sub yeti_interrupt_handler { die "caught an interrupt; exiting."; }

hook in a ctrl-c catcher, since that seems to be universally needed. sub install_interrupt_catcher { $SIG{INT} = 'yeti_interrupt_handler'; $SIG{QUIT} = 'yeti_interrupt_handler'; print "mapped int and quit signals"; return 0 }

takes a set of filenames that may be relative (or really arcane) and globs them into a normal list of filenames.
