if (defined $process) {
    if ($process->GetExitCode() == Win32::Process::STILL_ACTIVE()) {
        # process is still running
        ...
    }
    else {
        # process has terminated; PID is still valid
        ...
        # release process handle so the OS can do full cleanup
        # of the already terminated process
        $process = undef;
    }
}

Cheers,
