If you're absolutely sure you want to kill all the processes returned by
your pipe,
just use
kill -KILL `ps -auwx | grep -i perl | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
This is the "absolute" kill.
However, it is possible that they will get spawned again... Then you
just have to figure out where and how and why they are called, and
change that if need be.
Good luck,
Roman
