in thread no sigchild under win32 ?

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?

    'Perl uses a simple signal handling model: the %SIG hash contains names or references of user-installed signal handlers.'

    Simply put, SIGCHILD, SIGCHLD should be $SIG{CHLD}, $SIG{CLD}. Even so, the code should read something like kill($signal, $processid).
