In unix, you'd do: `kill TERM => $pid;` [download] I think that works in Windows too.	[reply] [d/l]

We've already covered that. You've already been told that has nothing to do with Windows (the same would apply on other OSes). You've already been told how to avoid launching a shell. If you don't want to launch the shell, don't launch a shell command. Is there something you didn't understand? If so, say as much and we'll explain.	[reply]

yeah, i have tried your code but IPC::Open3::open3 calls cmd.exe /x/d/c "COMMAND" and returns pid of cmd.exe i dunno why.	[reply]

Please show this code so we can report this bug in Perl.	[reply]

sorry. on Windows, IPC::Open3 works through cmd.exe and if i killing process with pid returned by open3, called process stays alive. my solution is system("taskkill /f /IM child.exe"); :(	[reply]

IPC::Open3 works through cmd.exe Only when you ask it to. It doesn't if you follow my instructions.	[reply]
