No. It was just a general concern regards Win32 (and it's sub modules). I can't exactly remember anymore how I tried to kill the process. I used some method to pull the PID out of the system (edit: by name). But that was the method that failed. I looked in the core module and found out that a system command was used and that looks for some information that newer operating systems don't seem to display anymore. The sleep function that I was talking about is: Win32::Sleep

edit: I did some further digging and I found one example:

use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Win32::Process::Memory ;
my $proc = Win32::Process::Memory->new({ name => 'notepad.exe' });
printf "Commited Memory = %X Bytes\n", $proc->get_memtotal ;
__END__
