I've seen this happen, too. I don't think this'll help, but here's something anyway.
I wrote a CGI/Perl program continuously checked a certain directory for files. It was initiated by clicking a submit button on a webpage I wrote. Once submit was clicked, it began continuously checking a directory for files.
However, even after I hit escape to stop the webpage, the Perl process kept running, so the ONLY way I could stop the process was to reboot the webserver. (This was on my NT workstation running PWS, so it wasn't a big deal.)
I wish I could tell you how to track it down. I never did figure it out.
Check for Perl scripts that run other Perl scripts.
DTH (Doubt This Helps),

Subject: Multiple perl.exe processes not going away
I've got a serious issue with our application.
At the end of any given day we have a number (10 or so) of perl.exe
processes that are consuming ~10MB memory and no cpu time on our web server.
We're running the latest Apache (1.3.14) and have seen this issue using
ActiveState 5.22 and 6.20. We've also tested this (and have the same issue)
running Windows NT Server 4.0, Workstation 4.0, and Windows 2000
Professional.
If anyone can help me find the cause of this I would greatly appreciate it.
I've gone as far as to write a program that captures the process ID's of
running perl processes every 30 seconds, we're trying to track this back to
our apache access log to see if we can identify a CGI that is the culprit.
