This file: C:/Perl/html/faq/Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq5.html#Signal_Handling
says, "Signals are unsupported by the Win32 API. The C Runtime provides crude support for signals, but there are serious caveats, such as inability to die() or exit() from a signal handler. Perl itself does not guarantee that signal handlers will not interrupt critical operations such as memory allocation, which means signal invocation may throw perl internals into disarray. For these reasons, signals are unsupported at this time."
And this one: C:\Perl\html\index.html says, "New Features in ActivePerl 5.8
Among other things... Reliable signals"
Are there signals or aren't there???
