Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice as to how I can find out the PIDs of all the current processes running on the server and store the details (what stage they are in, and what their PPIDs are) into a hash, like in a tree structure. Then display them out. Cheers!

    ProcessTable is for you, or parse the result of the system call of 'ps'.
