From the Active State change log: Bug Fixes and Changes since build 821 ... kill(0, $pid) was always returning TRUE in build 820 on Windows. It now returning the correct values again (bug 67519). Upgrade. Works okay on AS 5.8.9: `c:\test>\perl32\bin\perl -le"print $]; print kill 0, $_ for 3844, 4844 +" 5.008009 1 0` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Upgrade. Works okay on AS 5.8.9 I'm not sure whether I'll get permission to upgrade (and in this case, I would go straight to 5.12 anyway). Any suggestions how to solve it within 5.8.8? -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]

Attempt to use Win32::Process`::Open( my $handle, $pid, 0 );` to obtain a handle to the running process. If the call succeeds, it is still running. You could also avoid having to poll the process by using `$handle->Wait( $timeoutms );` to wait until it ends (or the timeout occurs) and then `$handle->Kill( $exitcode )` to kill it if it runs too long.

`qx{pslist.exe $pid}`? copy/paste win32_kill into Inline::C? Win32::Process::Info?	[reply]
