Perl script is being clled by the ASP as below. 
<%

dim dt,dvnm
dim fso,tw
dim sdt
dim rdt
dim pdt
dim arg
dim wsh
dim ses

ses=Session.SessionID



dvnm = request.form("test")
dt = request.form("datebox")

if dvnm <> "" and dt <> "" then

    sdt = split(dt,"/",-1,1)
    rdt = sdt(2)+"/"+sdt(0)+"/"+sdt(1)
    pdt = sdt(1)+"."+sdt(0)+"."+sdt(2)

    response.write(dvnm)
    response.write(dt)

    arg = "C:\\AsgReportScripts\\dailyscripts\\dailyreport1.pl "& dvnm
++" "+rdt+" "+ses

    response.write(arg)

    set wsh = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

    wsh.run "cmd.exe /c c:\\perl\\bin\\perl " & arg,1,1

    set wsh = nothing

    response.redirect("filesdisplay.asp?path=C:\reports\"&pdt+"_"+ses)

end if

The perl script 'dailyreport1.pl' will open excel file, generate some graph & then close the excel application. The ASP & perl scripts are on the same host. Infact it is running on the remote server. people are accessing ASP pages from their local system & generating the graphs. The scripts will run on the server. Now the problem is when 2 or 3 people try to generate reports simultaneously, the perl script is not closing the excel application properly. Over a period of time there will be many instances of excel running in the task manager of the server.

So if there is any way to link which instance of excel opened by the perl & findout the PID of it, I can forcefully kill that instance of excel process using killfam.
I tried to get the process info of all the excel instances running using Win32::Process::Info. But none of the informations is refering to perl. the parent process id of excel will refer to 'svchost.exe' but not perl. Kindly help me out.
