    Thank u very much. I installed Win32::Process::Info. now if I try to kill a process, as follows 
    $pid = 1768;
 Win32::Process::KillProcess($pid,0);

    [download]
    I get an error 
    Undefined subroutine &Win32::Process::KillProcess called at C:\perlscr
+ipts\pidin
fo.pl line 51, <DATA> line 164.

    how do I kill the process?

[d/l]
[select]

      Try 

      kill 2, 1768;

      See kill

      FYI. Win32::Process is a separate module from Win32::Process::Info that would require you to find and install it before you can use it. However, Perl's built-in kill function works fine for this.
