Re^5: Kill a process in perl windows and proceed only if it killed the process

I am not creating the process using Win32::Process::Create().

Then you will need to obtain a handle to the process using:

my $proc = Win32::Process::Open( $pid, $iflags );  

Creates a handle Perl can use to an existing process as identified by 
+$pid.

And then call the Wait method on that handle:

$proc->Wait( <milliseconds|INFINITE> );
