Here's the version 0.37 README: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/WWW/DURIST/Proc-ProcessTable-0.37.readme The important part is: "Currently works on windows, linux, solaris, aix, hpux, freebsd, irix, dec_osf, bsdi, netbsd, unixware 7.x and SunOS." That's probably about as portable as you're going to get without parsing `ps` output or using SNMP. I've worked with it under Linux and Solaris/Sparc (and IIRC Solaris/X86); it's a great tool for writing monitoring scripts, especially those watching for memory-bloated processes. hth, -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Visual Studio.NET comprehensive development tool, built to increase your productivity.
