in reply to no sigchild under win32 ?

perhaps it because i didnt use fork() or open() or something like that to create the childprocess but Win32::Process::Create ?

so is there a signal send or another way to know if such a process is trerminated ?

    The $SIG{CHLD} handler will not trap anything if you use Win32::Process. :-(

      why cant i just do something like 
      END{
    kill(SIGCHLD,$_parent);
}

        Umm, I'll be the first to admit that signal handlers are most likely my weakest area of expertise, but it seems pretty clear that the code you give and the error are for two different things, one named SIGCHLD and one SIGCHILD. Did you copy and paste the actual code you used?
