      The first 2 of those 3 are for creating and manipulating processes, not for querying tasklist info.

      The 3rd, as the name suggests is only usable for NT. However, it is a sub-module of Win32::Process::Info, which is a generic Win32 task information package.

      Examine what is said, not who speaks.

    The most complete way to view & monitor processes on a Win32 machine is to use Win32::Perflib. It will work for NT, 2000, XP, 2003.
