in reply to NtQuerySystemInformation/Task Manger processes tab with Win32::API

Can you retrieve cwd/pwd from pid?

Maybe using GetCurrentDirectoryFromPid?

There is Win32::EnvProcess but it doesn't quite work for me, and I'm only interested in read only access

volatility looks interesting, but i'd consider GUITest-ing procexp before resorting to python :)

The author of Win32::Process::Info decided to not use Native API Win32::Process::Info::NT leaving only WMI as the alternative according to what I've been told.

Well, Win32::Process::Info::NT "works" but the amount of info is less

    tlist tool will list the starting command line and cwd for a process, or use ReadProcessMemory and PEB traversal, tlist and process explorer both do ReadProcessMemory and PEB traversal. I suggest writing some XS code, since doing ReadProcessMemory and PEB stuff with Win32::API is possible, but painful to parse all the structs, and remain 32 and 64 bit compliant.

    edit: google says there is Win32::Process::Memory, dont know if it works, parsing the structs is the hardest job, not looking in another processes memory, also there is Win32::Process::CommandLine.
