However, I *know* that perl emulates it using threads. But, when thinking of it, Cygwin emulates fork() by copying the address space of a process to a newly created process. It's a bit slow, but at least it works. Guess getting into the kernel mode driver land to create *actual* fork() on win32 is a bit beyond php development.
