Also, be sure to suspend the target process otherwise things could change

This is all very fascinating stuff. I'm not accustomed to windows at all. But this statement is somewhat curious, since CreateToolhelp32Snapshot() seems to take a "snapshot," so you don't have to worry about state changes — according to the MSDN pages...

Do I definitely need to suspend it? I'll re-read that tomorrow. How accurate are those pages? They seem pretty detailed, even if they're a bit tricky to navigate. I've never really read them...

Lastly, thanks for your help. (It would seem this isn't very perl related.)
