CPAN is your friend, as always. (there is even a nifty nodelet in User settings.) Try Proc::ProcessTable if you are on unix... or search for 'Proc' on search.cpan.org. Jeroen "We are not alone"(FZ) Update I was curious about Win32 solutions. I couldn't find a dedicated module on CPAN. Did some Super search. No obvious answers. But with some more digging I found monitor.pl and Re: WIN32 calls, they can be useful starting points (Getting a Local/Remote Win32 Task List is not very different, dissapointingly enough)	[reply]

In addition to this, I have recently posted some code to Q&A which will return process memory usage via the Proc::ProcessTable module. The Q&A thread where this can can be found is here. Ooohhh, Rob no beer function well without!	[reply]

Not a good one, but there are modules that do it with other programs or libraries, like GTop.	[reply]
