The following simple test case will crash perl on Windows. (Tried with Strawberry Perl 5.16.2). Any Windows experts might know how to fix it? (On Linux this worked fine.)

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More;
use Parallel::ForkManager;

eval "use utf8::all";
plan skip_all => 'Need utf8::all for this test crashing on Windows' if
+ ($@);
plan tests => 1;

my $fork = Parallel::ForkManager->new( 1 );
foreach (1) {
    my $pid = $fork->start and next;
    $fork->finish;
}
$fork->wait_all_children;

ok(1);

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
