+SKIP:
+{

+    skip "Test fails on Windows perl", 2 if $Config{osname} eq 'MSWin32';
So this basically works with msys but not with MSWin32? Interesting...

Does it make a different if you use for example coup_d_grace =>
"QUIT"? Per the docs of IPC::Run SIGTERM is used for kills on Windows.

+if  ($Config{osname} eq 'MSWin32')
+{
+    # some Windows Perls at least don't like IPC::Run's start/kill_kill regime.
+    plan skip_all => "Test fails on Windows perl";
+}
Indentation is weird here, with a mix of spaces and tabs.
