in reply to Re^14: time and mem usage of pgm
in thread time and mem usage of pgm

is mem a variable?

mem is the subroutine in my original response:

sub mem{ `tasklist /nh /fi "PID eq $$"` =~ m[(\S+ K)$] }
but when running the last perl command, I get Error: the search filter cannot be recongnized

Try again: Ie. cut and paste the code from the post above again.

    it works. have messed up the code a bit

    is it possible to get the equivalent of RSS under win?

      The memory figure returned by mem(); is the Physical Memory Working Set which is (roughly) the equivalent of the RSS on modern *nix.
