* sig() should be kill()Doug Bell2014-08-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | There is no sig() function, and the block of text has similar language to a previous block which uses kill(). For: RT #122662

* Add information about portability caveats related to using kill on forked ↵bojilund2011-06-071-2/+10

* Don't wait for SIGTERM'ed forked children on WindowsJan Dubois2011-03-151-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | SIGTERM may never get delivered when a thread/process is blocked in a system call. To avoid a deadlock Perl will now no longer wait for children to terminate after they have been signalled with SIGTERM. Note: this *only* applies to fork() emulation on Windows. Read pod/perlfork.pod for context on other limitation of this emulation.
