Re^3: Need a reliable way to send SIGINT to a perl process on 5.8.8/windows XPpro

Yes, yes, yes. Then why do you think it isn't working for the OP?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The way I read the OP, the problem is not sending the Ctrl-C or its effect on the child, the problem is to avoid killing the parent along with the child. According to the OP, setting `$SIG{INT}` to `"IGNORE"` used to accomplish that task in 5.6.1, but it doesn't anymore. That's what I addressed in my top level post. Do you see it differently? The OP wasn't all that clear.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
