Need help

I need a very simple perl script that will do the following:
1. Determine the PID for process xxx.exe
2. Issue a KILL -9 type command for that PID.

I can do it manually but want to automate the process
I tried the following:
A. PS into a file
B. Grep file for the process I want and output to another file (now
contains only that process)
C. Don't know how to get the PID out of that file to feed to my kill
command.

System is Windows 2000 Prof.

Thanks in advance.
