=head1 SYNOPSIS

    perl tasklist.pl
    ...
    smss.exe  --  Smss.exe (Microsoft)
      Windows NT4/2000/XP only.į SMSS is the Session Manager SubSystem
+.į
      SMSSĘs purpose is to start, manage, and delete user sessions (or
      client sessions under Terminal Server).į Under Terminal Server t
+he
      management part includes dealing with the different subsystems (
+OS/2,
      Win32, POSIX) which a client session may wish to run.
      Recommendationį:į An integral part of the operating system, leav
+e
      alone.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The first time you use F<tasklist.pl>,
it will get tasklist metadata from 
L<http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm>.
and store it under C<$tasklistdir>
(whose value you might wanna change).

To refresh the metadata, just pass any argument to F<tasklist.pl>.

F<tasklist.pl> is intended for win32 machines (microsoft).

B<WARNING>: using this program may be against
the terms of use of L<http://www.answersthatwork.com>,
but as long as you don't distribute tasklist.storable,
along with this program you should be fine.

=head1 TODO

    - maybe contact GetOpt::Long and Pod::Usage MAN!!
    - maybe look into the charset issue
    - maybe add paging support
    - maybe add ability to simply list processes
    - maybe add the ability to dump metadata for named processes/pids 
+only
    - refactor refactor refactor
