Access to Win32 Processes from shell

["David's Lightspeed Email" <dpainter@lightspeed.net>]

                                    March 2nd, 1999

I'm launching processes from Perl scripts using backticks and the system
command, and it seems that Windows is stealing my processes from me
sometimes.  Although the application is running, and the window is visible,
I look for the process with "ps -ef", and it is nowhere to be found.  Where
did it go?

What I'm doing is automating IExplorer launches to retrieve http documents.
Once I have the documents, though, I need to kill the window, otherwise my
screen starts filling up with hundreds of icons.

Any clues?
