Yes, I can do that too, but it is not very interesting as the Changelog
already explains that kill(0, $pid) was broken in 820 and fixed in 822
(821 was an HP-UX specific build):

http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.8/changes.html#build_822_wednesday__aug_1__2007

If you dig into the bug report, you'll see that it was also broken in build 5.10.0.1000
(which was just a beta release), but should have been fixed in build 1001:

http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=67519

Octavian explicitly mentioned that he was using Perl 5.10.1,
which means build 1006 or 1007.

Could you elaborate on that?
