Proc::Killfam - kill a list of pids, and all their sub-children
use Proc::Killfam;
killfam $signal, @pids;
killfam accepts the same arguments as the Perl builtin kill command,
but, additionally, recursively searches the process table for children and
kills them as well.
killfam 'TERM', ($pid1, $pid2, @more_pids);
kill, signal
