How can I do that a background-process would not stop? (say that I only
want to break current child process, not the parent process also?)
You need to get the pid of the child process, then use kill on it.
Quite often, you need to use Proc::Killfam to kill the process, because
depending on how you create the child process, you may be getting
the pid of the controlling parent shell, not the child itself.
See "perldoc kill" and "perldoc Proc::Killfam"
