Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

using IIS(ew!!) and the occassionally it timeouts my perl script. however the processes started by my perl script keep going. i know how to get the PIDs for them, but is there a generic way to kill them before the outside program (IIS) kills my script? thanks
