in reply to Determining Process Information of Win process

You would probably be able to use Win32::API to access the OS functions providing that information. You would have to use OpenProcess to get a handle to the process from its PID and then, the functions detailed here to read its information. Finally, you would have to release the handle using CloseHandle.

I have some code doing something similar here.

BTW, my knowledge of Windows is quite limited. Take my advice with care!

    That's exactly what Win32::Process::Info does.

    If that module is not working for him, it probably comes down to a problem with Win32::API, not working on his system.

    And the most likely cause of that is a mismatch between the version of Win32::API and the perl he is using. Eg, One built with MSVC and the other with MinGW.
