in reply to Find a windows process

Hello BernieC,

take a look at Win32::Process::List

..or shell out (useful on windows sometimes) and parse the output of tasklist command.

PS see also How to get PID of a process given its complete command line in windows

    I didn't see the Win32::Process::List but you answered the question that was hidden in my inquiry -- I know that Task Manager has a "detail" tab that lists the names/processes but I couldn't see a way to {a} run that from perl, and {b} extract that info task manager is strictly window-only.. but "tasklist" -- You've solved my problem *twice*!! thanks...
