fluks,

I have 64-bit Strawberry 5.30, and it has no trouble correctly running fork:

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Config;

BEGIN {
    $| = 1; # autoflush
    say "perl $^V, uname = ", $Config{myuname};
}

END { say scalar localtime, "\tprocess $$ is exiting"; }

my $pid = fork();
if($pid==0) {
    say scalar localtime, "\tI am the child $$";
    exit;
}
say scalar localtime, "\tI am the parent $$";

__END__

What happens if you run the same code?
