Ok, I am using this code: 
my $t = new Proc::ProcessTable;
foreach my $p ( @{$t->table} ){
    if($p->cmndline =~ / member.cgi/) {
        my $_sec = time() - $p->start;
        my $_pid = $p->pid;
        if($_sec > 3 && $pid->is_pid_running($_pid)) {
            $pid->kill( $_pid );
            print qq~$_pid was running for $_sec seconds...\n~;
        }
    }
}

My question is this...
Is there a way to make this more efficient, instead of doing this: 
foreach my $p ( @{$t->table} ){
    if($p->cmndline =~ / member.cgi/) {

Is there a way to get the table to only give me the pids running with member.cgi contained in the cmndline field? That way it does not have to go through the 200+/- other processes to find those ones?

If not, this works as it is, I was just hoping to make it more efficient.

Thanks,
Richard

BTW, this script should be done running in less than 0.5 seconds so I have it find those that have been running for more than 3 seconds as those ones should have exited out but for some reason are hanging. I am thinking there is a server issue I see when I run the hanging ones I see some sock errors, even though that script does not use sock for anything, Perl does pull in a sock library on this machine. I am not sure if that error is related to the hanging though.
