It's not quite clear what you are asking. Are you looking for the full command line of the process? If so, use the cmndline field of the Proc::ProcessTable::Process that you are examining.

Also, keep in mind that the fields in a Proc::ProcessTable::Process return different values depending on your operating system. From the pod:

See the "README.osname" files in the distribution for more up-to-date information.

If you are seeing a full path and only need the filename (basename) of the process, or if you are seeing the name of the interpreter (e.g., "perl" for a process "perl dodgy.pl"), File::Basename can help: 
use strict;
use Proc::ProcessTable;
use File::Basename;
                                                                      
+          
my $t = Proc::ProcessTable->new;
                                                                      
+          
foreach my $p (@{$t->table}) {
  print 'process:  ', basename($p->cmndline), "\n";
}

__END__
for a process `perl /tmp/dodgy.pl', prints `dodgy.pl'
