Killing SYSTEM processes

How do I script the killing of SYSTEM processes as Administrator on Windows
Server 2003?

I am trying to do it in Perl using:

Win32::Process::KillProcess($pid, $exitcode)

and

kill 9,$pid;

Which fails with a permission denied message, apparently Administrator
cannot kill SYSTEM processes. Is there a work around?
