in thread Changing process name

I need a way to change the name of a process from within the executed script

Well. There is no way of doing this on Win32 that I am aware of, and I've looked pretty hard. As noted elsewhere, this is "by design", as executables that can change their apparent name is a security hole.

WxPerl is outside of my experience and sufficiently different from similar stuff (Tk) that I doubt I can help.

One thought that does cross my mind is: How are the commands run? Does a new (console) window appear or are they run strictly in the background?

If they run in a window, would changing the title of the window be sufficient to differentiate them?

    If I executed my App with perl and there is a console window 
opened for it not. Maybe if I use wperl (which do not open a 
console), then the executed script opens a new console window,
but I'm not sure. 

So it looks like I have to differentiate them by Process Id 
and the timestamp, when they where executed. It isnt that kind of problem anyway, it would just be better if.

Thanks anyway
