How can i terminate a perl embedded CGI program running from a Apache server?

sanjay nayak has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks

If a perl embedded CGI program is running from a Apache web server. Then what is the process to terminate that program?

Just like when a perl program is running in a command prompt? Then just by doing the Ctrn C, i can terminate that program.

Plz suggest.

Usually processes are killed, but if it is not a separate process from Apache you probably have to either modify the CGI program to respond to Signals or kill Apache :-) update: Instead of signals, a flag file could be used, or any other mean to deliver requests/orders to a process -- `seek $her, $from, $everywhere if exists $true{love};`	[reply] [d/l]

Hi puudeli Many many thanks for the reply. Suppose a.pl, b.pl and c.pl are running in a web browser (Which are called from the Apache server). At that time i want to terminate the a.pl, so how can i do that.Is there any specific code for that. Plz suggest. Regd's Sanjay	[reply]
