in thread Getting the pid of the process launched by my perl program

I'm using the same logic to monitor the child process with a timer in the parent. On maximum timeout I'm killing the child process. The issue is I'm running an exe from the child which doesn't die on kill the child. I tried to explicitly kill the process with taskkill on windows and it works fine. But I face portability issues because of using taskkill. Can anybody help on this?
