Can I send a kill signal to a process which is created using system call ?
No. system() won't return while the child process is still running. If you have the process running in parallel (such as with fork, or a piped open), you should be able to send a kill signal to it from your Perl process. But system() doesn't run in parallel; it suspends the parent process.
