in reply to How to Retrieve another Process' Window Title?

...but I would think there'd have to be a 'native perl' -way to do it?

Why? Why should Perl--a console-based scripting language born of Unix--have a "native way" of accessing the title texts of Windows windows?

As a mechanism for checking whether a particular instance of a process is running, this seems to be the dumbest mechanism possible.

If these are processes you started--they're none of your business otherwise right?--then, why not just retain the pids of the processes you started and periodically check whether they are still running?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
