I can't reproduce anything like what you describe with 5.6.0, 5.6.1, any 5.8.x or bleadperl. I tried running perl -le "print kill(0, undef); print 'Hi'" with each of those perls, and they all print 'Hi' okay. Is this one-liner sufficient to show up the problem concerned? I'm running on Windows XP. What OS have you seen this problem on? --Thread Previous | Thread Next
