Hello all,
I keep on fighting with threads and fork() on Windows. The problem now is that I am trying to kill a child thread. I have a daemonn listening for requests on a socket and when it receives "stop" it should kill all child threads and keep on listening on the socket. I am trying to do it like this: 
foreach my $child (@childPids) {
    kill 9, $child;
 }

This code seems to kill only threads which did not create other child threads. I mean, if I have a thread where I also do a fork(), that thread it is not killed.
What I want is to find a way for killing all threads, except the main one. Any idea how can I do that?
Thanks.
