[Solved] How do I stop a process running using Perl? [closed]

by


Perl extensions are typically .pl or .pm right? .py is for python I think.

Anyway, you can kill a specified program in a Unix environment with something like:

system 'killall', 'some_program_name';

or 

system 'kill', '-15', $pid;

if the variable $pid holds the pid of your program.
