maybe you'd like to take a look to Proc::ProcessTable. Note from sintadil: Proc::ProcessTable is platform-dependent and -- at least on the systems with which I'm familiar -- it depends on the existence of a procfs. procfs is strongly deprecated in some Unix versions and doesn't even exist by default in some.

I take it you mean the output of that command produces fields separated by a variable amount of whitespace. The solution is to split on one-or-more whitespace characters, just do `@bits = split /\s+/, $string;`	[reply] [d/l]
