I can't find any documented reason for the problem (and I don't actually
have a Windows ME to experiment with). KillProcess() calls OpenProcess() and
TerminateProcess(). I've checked the msdn docs for both OpenProcess and
TerminateProcess and there's no mention of any special considerations
regarding Windows ME.

If you want (and assuming you can compile Win32::Process from source) you
could try changing (in Process.xs):
HANDLE ph = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, 0, pid);
to:
HANDLE ph = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0, pid);

(You'll find that about 5 or 6 lines from the end of the file.) I can't
really think of any reason that should help, however.

ActiveState now hosts a (low volume) libwin32-perl mailing list. Maybe
someone there can help. See:

Cheers,
