killing linux process with CGI

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

Hello Monk's,

i've written a simple cgi script so i can kill processes on a linux server.
the problem is the process don't get killed at all.
script is owned by the running oser of the process and this user is allowed to kill processes.

a hint, or a slam with a tree woud be nice ;)

below is the kill function,that is triggered when u hit a button.

sub exec_restart {
    my $pids = param('pids');
    my @pid = split(";",$pids);
    kill -9,@pid;
    
    print header;
    print qq(<HTML>
 <HEAD>
  <TITLE>CONSOLE 0.1</TITLE>
 </HEAD>
 <BODY>
    <p><div align="center">killed... $pids</div></p>
 </BODY>
</HTML>);
}
