gants has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hello, How I can put unix siganls like usr2 into my perl daemon ran at windows?

Update:

hm, its kind of unsupport configuration signals. But how I can do reconfiguration my daemon instead of restart on windows?

You can only accept and deliver signals which your OS supports. To get a list of them, use e.g.

perl -le "print for sort keys %SIG"

update: the OP was modified after my answer, which doesn't make any sense know. Originally the OP was asking about how to implement or use or deliver (I don't remember very well) the USR1 signal on Windows.

Output from the above snippet on my box (linux)

ALRM
BUS
CHLD
CLD
CONT
FPE
HUP
... more signals...
UNUSED
URG
USR1
USR2
VTALRM
WINCH
XCPU
XFSZ
[download]

which is a list of the signals for that OS. I bet perl on windows features a different set of keys in %SIG.

ah! It was:
hello, How I can put unix siganls like usr2 into my perl daemon ran at windows?

I bet perl on windows features a different set of keys in %SIG.

ABRT
ALRM
BREAK
CHLD
CLD
CONT
FPE
HUP
ILL
INT
KILL
NUM05
NUM06
NUM07
NUM10
NUM12
NUM16
NUM17
NUM18
NUM19
NUM24
PIPE
QUIT
SEGV
STOP

Considering the OS has only two signals (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break)...

Aside from not doing what you said it does, I don't see how it helps the OP at all.
