Perl's win32 killpg in win32.c doesn't match the POSIX expectations that Perl_apply has for killpg. When PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS/perlhost.h/PerlProcKillpg is removed, then Perl_apply directly calls killpg which follows Win32 coding style, not POSIX coding style. With PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, PerlProcKillpg calls win32_kill which calls my_kill which calls killpg. I plan on renaming killpg to my_killpg, then create a win32_killpg that follows POSIXese, and untangle the spaghetti.
