Hello,

I want my perl script to be able to kill a process given its pid. I
could invoque the UNIX kill -9, but I would prefer something provided by
the perl language.
Is there something in perl for this?

Thanks a lot!,
Federico

sorry, I found it immediately after sending the message.
It is the "kill" function.
