How to terminate a running process

[Cambridge10]

system ("mbrola $db extern.pho extern.wav");
system ("bruceplayer.exe extern.wav");

Extern.wav has a duration of ten minutes. I've created a Stop button so that the user can stop bruceplayer.exe anytime.
How can I terminate this process?

Have a look at the kill function.

What I do:

my $Machine = "\\\\.";

#get wget PID on my machine
my $CLASS = "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}$Machine\\Root\\cimv2";
my $WMI = Win32::OLE->GetObject( $CLASS ) || die;

foreach $Proc ( in( $WMI->InstancesOf( "Win32_Process" ) ) ) {
$PROCNAME = $Proc->{Name} ;
$PID = $Proc->{ProcessID};
if ( $PROCNAME =~ /extern.wav/) {
kill 9 => $PID if ($PID);
}
}

Long live king Moshiach !
