Just a quick note, the usage of POSIX doesn't necessarily exclude Windows-based systems with Windows NT and 2000 being POSIX-compliant (although I should note, there were a couple of questions on some functions with Windows NT) - The usage of POSIX does however preclude Windows 9x, for which Win32::Process offers a better solution with regard to setting priority classes and process suspension and execution.

 

Ooohhh, Rob no beer function well without!
