It seems the problem can be solved by using POSIX exit.
(http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/exit.html )
Thanks to Chris who is in our IT department for pointing me to this. I
should have read it more carefully!
" The exit() function does not always exit immediately. It calls any
defined END routine
id show that less than half of the total memory is used. So I don't
believe the server is swamped.
Thanks
