Is kill(15, $pid) supposed to work on Windows? I find that it has no 
effect (at least when $pid is another perl.exe process).

Also, kill(9, $pid) kills another perl.exe process OK, but

perl -le "kill 9, undef; print 'Hi'"

doesn't kill the current perl process: the program prints 'Hi' and exits 
normally. Same with kill(9, 0) in place of kill(9, undef).

I tried all this using 5.8.7, 5.8.8 and current bleadperl.
