in thread perl function for 'ps' ?

Thanks for your reply. I do know of cpan. I was actually looking for a way to do this without having to install a module. I can't install this on all the boxes I'm auditing.

    If you can get logged in and run perl or ps, then you might very well be able to install a module in your $HOME directory and use the module from there.
    You have more power than you might think!

      Thanks for your suggestion.

      I tried perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/u752359/ProcessTable and that installed fine.

      However my script fails. Here's the start of it: 

      #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use lib '/home/u752359/ProcessTable';
use Proc::ProcessTable;
$t = new Proc::ProcessTable;

      And when I run it:

      $ ./test.pl

      Can't locate Proc/ProcessTable.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/u752359/ProcessTable /usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris /usr/perl5/5.00503 /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at ./test.pl line 5. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test.pl line 5.

        You will probably find that you want something like use lib '/home/u752359/ProcessTable/lib/perl5'; but you should check the directory structure that was created and set 'lib' to the directory containing the 'Proc' subdirectory.
