I believe this checks to see if the reference type of $CHILDREN{$child} is CODE -- that is, is it a coderef.

Again, from the reference section of v3 of the Camel, kill takes a SIGNAL and a LIST. The => is a substitue for a comma.

ps I'm not crazy about the use of ALL CAPS variable names, but am I gonna argue with Lincoln Stein?
