I'm trying to kill mspaint.exe on my P.C. leveraging WMI. Everything in the code works below except the terminate command. Evolution of this script will be to terminate processes on remote pc's. I WANT TO USE WMI and not some flaky perl mod. Here's the code: 
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;


my $refWMI = Win32::OLE->GetObject("winMgmts:");


###### Get Processes 

mins.
my $strQuery = "Select * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name='mspaint.exe'";
my $colProcesses1 = $refWMI->ExecQuery ($strQuery);


foreach my $refPS (in $colProcesses1)
{
    print $refPS->{Name}
    . " is running \n";
    sleep (5);
        
    $refPS->Terminate();
}

undef $colProcesses1;
undef $refWMI;
