Let's hang on until Lyle has his module ready, as Hugo suggested. Once he's got it working, we can discuss how it would or would not fold into different Perl distributions, ActiveState or otherwise. It's been pointed out that having a cross-platform way to control runaway process *might* be useful, but it's all totally idle speculation for the moment; right now, arguing about it and tossing out stuff like 'incompetent' is counterproductive and only serves to rub salt into a sore spot - the disconnect between folks who use Windows for whatever reason (including fiat) and those who don't.This is *not* a p5p problem. These are *not* things that should be in core perl. If you want to talk to ActiveState and see if you can persuade them to produce a 'perl for incompetent IIS users' distribution, which includes things useful to people like that, then feel free to.
