Re: CPU usage Windows OP

I don't know about Windows, under *NIX I'd set the process priority (otherwise also called the nice-level) and let the operating system scheduler handle the rest. That's what it's there for after all, and a hand-rolled solution involving sleep is almost certain to be inferior in every respect.

All dogma is stupid.

Seconded. For Win32 I suggest using Win32::Process which has a a `SetPriorityClass($priority)` method. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks. ppm presents three options for me: `1. Win32-Process-Info [1.006] Get information on arbitrary process +es in Wi~ 2. Win32-Process-Memory [0.20] read and write memory of other windo +ws proce~ 3. Win32-Process-Perf [1.02] Performance counter for processes` [download] I am assuming that it is the first of these that are required.	[reply] [d/l]

As you're using ppm I assume you have the Activestate distribution. You therefore already have Win32::Process installed and that is presumably why ppm didn't return any results.	[reply]
