I have tried:
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.
E:\lucru\sig>perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall
Binary build 817 [257965] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Mar 20 2006 17:54:25
E:\lucru\sig>perl sigtest.pl
[ I hit a Ctrl-C here]
This works
E:\lucru\sig>
So it works under Windows 2000 with perl 5.8.8 but there were some issues
with the signals under Windows with ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 816, so you need
to upgrade.
