in thread perl.exe crash in win32 with use of fork and sockets

Blah, my Win98 box forks (no, not in the "barfs" sense, but that too ;)) all the time... Wonder what's different.

    Hmm, crazyinsomniac and Amoe are right. I am wrong. You can fork on Windows these days, at least using AS Build 620 on Win95.

    C:\>type fork.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -w defined(my $pid = fork()) || die "Can't fork!"; print $pid ? "Parent\n" : "Child\n"; C:\>perl fork.pl Parent Child C:\>

    This is news to me. Thanks crazy and co this is forkin good to know.

    cheers
