And could use 'uname' to check the OS, for example:
my $os = `uname`; chop $os;
my $cmd = ( $os eq 'SunOS' )
    ? '/usr/ucb -auxw'
    : '/bin/ps -ef';
my @psout = split /\n/, `$cmd`;
my @hdr = split /\s+/, shift ( @psout );
my @aoh = ();
while (1) { # load ps output into above array of hash...
    my $fldno = 0;
    my $tmp = {};
    my @fld = ( split /\s+/,( shift( @psout ) || last ));
    $tmp -> { $hdr [ $fldno++ ] } = shift @fld for @hdr;
    $tmp -> { COMMAND } .= join ' ', @fld;
    push @aoh, $tmp;
}
