in reply to Proc::ProcessTable Process name,

It's not quite clear what you are asking. Are you looking for the full command line of the process? If so, use the cmndline field of the Proc::ProcessTable::Process that you are examining.

Also, keep in mind that the fields in a Proc::ProcessTable::Process return different values depending on your operating system. From the pod:

See the "README.osname" files in the distribution for more up-to-date information.

If you are seeing a full path and only need the filename (basename) of the process, or if you are seeing the name of the interpreter (e.g., "perl" for a process "perl dodgy.pl"), File::Basename can help:
use strict; use Proc::ProcessTable; use File::Basename; + my $t = Proc::ProcessTable->new; + foreach my $p (@{$t->table}) { print 'process: ', basename($p->cmndline), "\n"; } __END__ for a process `perl /tmp/dodgy.pl', prints `dodgy.pl'
