	you can always just kill(9, $expect->pid()); and then wait(); 

	By default nothing does that because sending signals other than
9 allows the process to clean itself up before exit. But that is the fastest
way to make sure it goes away _now_. In fact you can skip on the wait() if
you don't mind leaving zombies around until your perl process exits.
