Windows doesn't have signals. If some usage of kill does what you want, it would be a very special emulation. It would surely be better to call the underlying system call more directly. Win32::Console's GenerateCtrlEvent does just that.
Note that GenerateCtrlEvent can be called as a static method: Win32::Console->GenerateCtrlEvent(...);. You do not need to create a Win32::Console object.

Thanks for the replies.
I tried:
kill('ABRT',$pid);
kill('BREAK',$pid);
Win32::Console->GenerateCtrlEvent(CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, $pid);
No dice. Any other ideas?

Three ideas:
- Try kill('ABRT',$pid). Traditionally ABRT has caused core dumps, so maybe on Java you'll get a stack dump.
- Try kill('BREAK',$pid). Perl handles CTRL-BREAK in a $SIG{BREAK} handler, IIRC, so maybe you can send a break signal this way?
- Win32::Console claims to have code to send break signals, though I haven't tried it.
Good luck! Hopefully one of these will help!
