Because when I try to kill a process using Proc::Killfam I get an error saying `Proc::ProcessTable missing, can't kill sub-children. at D:/Program Fil +es/Perl/site/lib/Proc/Killfam.pm line 22.` [download] I didn't get any information regarding ppm installation of Proc::ProcessTable in CPAN. I just need the url of the site where i can get .ppd file of the module.	[reply] [d/l]

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, zlr_	[reply]
