I would like to have PROCESS_ID of one line perl code as the backup file extension.

One supposes that you are already aware that process IDs get re-used, so that this could easily lead to some of the files being overwritten. It scarcely seems necessary to mention that, since of course you surely were already aware of it, but there I go again, stating the obvious.

Sanity? Oh, yeah, I've got all kinds of sanity. In fact, I've developed whole new kinds of sanity. You can just call me "Mister Sanity". Why, I've got so much sanity it's driving me crazy.
