I think having sensible defaults for these signal handlers is a good
idea; I'm using them too, and where I don't I should :-) Why not put
them into CGI::Base and allow them to be switched off?

I'm not completely convinced about this yet, I usually prefer seeing
clearly what's happening and use <<TAG to do that. That way you can
also store it onto a variable, and splat it out at once (or not if you
encounter an error). But this is probably a personal preference.
