I don't think people would call it "process title". Whatever, this is a faq; check in particular perldoc -q "perl's command line". To quote from it:
To actually alter the visible command line, you can assign to the vari +- able $0 as documented in perlvar. This won't work on all operating systems, though.
Appears to work:
$ perl -e '$0="foo"; 1 while 1' & [1] 19748 $ ps U blazar PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 19585 ? S 0:00 sshd: blazar@pts/0 19592 pts/0 Ss 0:00 -bash 19748 pts/0 R 0:06 foo 19758 pts/0 R+ 0:00 ps U blazar

Update: thanks to tirwhan for suggesting s/(?<=ps )aux | grep(?= blazar)/U/.
