in thread Answer: How to kill a crashed program like Word that wasn't starter by a perl script?

For an example on how to do this on computers in the NT family, including windows 2000, and probably XP, see A killall for Windows. It uses Win32::PerfLib to find process IDs, and Win32::Process to kill the found process(es).

It should not be too hard to modify the script for other needs, either. :)

This will not work on 95/98 however.
