in thread killing perl scripts

Yes, that is how it should work. However, I have seen the occasional two-stage KILL signal, where kill -9 sends SIGKILL only truly destroys the process if the SIG is not handled by the application after few ticks.

I don't know how common that is, but it's still unwise to set $SIG{KILL} unless you know for sure it will be safe to do so.
