For now, it uses sysctl(3) to get some information; future additions will probably also use the kvm(3) set of library functions to access the kernel virtual memory image directly, which - I think makes it pretty opensbd-specific. It just might work on other *bsd variants, but I can neither confirm nor deny that; I don't have experience with those, and don't have any boxes running those, either. Furthermore, I'd just like to add more to this module without having to worry about compatibility with other OSes, so I still would suggest OpenBSD:: as the namespace. Apart from that - since I'm just talking to you, thanks to you and Alligator for "Programming the Perl DBI" - I've got a copy of it here, and it sure has helped me a couple of times. :) -- 3:28PM up 180 days, 12:41, 1 user, load averages: 0.12, 0.14, 0.10
