You also need to have cygwin installed to make it work under Windows, as stated in the Proc::ProcessTable readme file.

When i needed to do what killfam does (i.e : kill all sons of a given PID) i used Win32::PerfLib recursively to get a list of all sons of a pid and then called Win32::Process:KillProcess on the resulting list .

Also it may be interesting to look at Win32::Job ( perl 5.8) since it allows job management :

Windows 2000 introduced the concept of a ``job'': a collection of processes which can be controlled as a single unit. For example, you can reliably kill a process and all of its children by launching the process in a job, then telling Windows to kill all processes in the job. Win32::Job makes this feature available to Perl.

( from Win32::Job description ) .

Cheers,
