goibhniu-

I wrestled with wmic a while back and came up with a very perl-friendly way to access the data.

The key is using list /format:value on the command line.

-Craig 

use strict;
use Tk;
use Data::Dumper;

my %DATA;

# Get info via wmic (not available on all versions of windows)...
my @data = split(/^\s*\cM\n/m, `wmic process list /format:value`);
shift(@data); pop(@data);    # Remove first/last blank lines

my %procs;
# Iterate through each element...
foreach my $p (@data) {
    $p =~ s/\cM//g;            # Grrrr, rotten windows
    my %child = split(/[=\n]/, $p);    # Hashify information
    $procs{$child{ProcessId}} = \%child;
}

print Dumper(\%procs), "\n";
