really a non-issue in practice and basically the same thing under the hood, but
this could probably just a map, something like (untested):

my $old_sig = { map { $_ => $SIG{$_} qw(INT TERM QUIT HUP PIPE) };

Could be nice to output a warning if above rmdir fails?

hmm, this reads alright, but then I'm wondering if it should be added elsewhere?
As I found not a single "POSIX::raise" or "raise\(" instance in our perl code
inside the /usr/share/perl5/{PVE,Proxmox} directories on a recent PVE 9 system, but
we have quite a few signal overrides, and while I did not checked those, I do believe
to remember that some of those fallback to the handler defined by the calling site.

Describing how exactly the code flow changes would be nice in any case.
