Re^2: Windows 10 and Win32::Process

A module that hasn't been updated in a long time does not necessarily mean that it has been neglected...

+1 for your answers and I absolutely agree with this reasoning. I just wish to note that unfortunately the last two times that I used Win32 to do something both functions were not working properly. It makes me careful using that module. Functions that did not work for me where killing a process and using the millisecond sleep.

Just to be clear, do I understand correctly that we're talking about some functions in the Win32::Process module? Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l]

No. It was just a general concern regards Win32 (and it's sub modules). I can't exactly remember anymore how I tried to kill the process. I used some method to pull the PID out of the system (edit: by name). But that was the method that failed. I looked in the core module and found out that a system command was used and that looks for some information that newer operating systems don't seem to display anymore. The sleep function that I was talking about is: Win32::Sleep edit: I did some further digging and I found one example: use strict ; use warnings ; use Win32::Process::Memory ; my $proc = Win32::Process::Memory->new({ name => 'notepad.exe' }); printf "Commited Memory = %X Bytes\n", $proc->get_memtotal ; __END__ Use of uninitialized value in lc at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Win32/Process/M +emory.pm line 38. ... Use of uninitialized value in lc at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Win32/Process/M +emory.pm line 38. Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at C:/Perl64/site/lib/W +in32/Process/Memory.pm line 59.
