Hello perlish Monks

From the README of Proc::ProcessTable 0.39: Currently works on darwin, nonstop-ux windows, linux, solaris, aix, hpux, freebsd, irix, dec_osf, bsdi, netbsd, unixware 7.x and SunOS. It's what I use. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

You got me to post Find children of process (unix/linux) - it's what I use to interface with ps - advantage is that it works without getting new modules (which was important to me), but probably not as robust as the modules on CPAN.	[reply]
