I write less robust code. I know it sounds stupid and flippant, but the
truth of the matter is that without being able to alarm something then
your code is necessarily less robust. I wouldn't use Perl on Win32 for
mission critical things where alarming was really required.

NB: I'm not saying that there are no workarounds - just that I don't
know any reliable ones and hence have adopted the above attitude. Good
luck in your search.
