kill 0 doesn"t work?

Hi,

I try to use kill(0, $pid) in order to test if the process with the PID=$pid
is running, but no matter what $pid I use, it always returns 1 like the
process would be running.

Isn't kill(0, $pid) working under Windows XP with ActivePerl build 820?
Is it working with a newer build?

I use that older version because it works fine with mod_perl.

Thank you.

Octavian

Yes, it is broken in 820, fixed in 821.
