Not sure what you are trying to say here.  Are you saying that
kill(0, $pid) will return '1' for *any* value of $pid?

If you want to check the PID against the current PID, please
use the $$ variable for the PID of the Perl process.

Beyond that you need to provide additional information, like
which version of Windows you are using; if you are running as
Administrator or not, etc...

It would also help if you could try to reproduce the problem
on a separate system, if you have access to more than one.
