Thanks for that.  I'll look forward to having /proc around, and the
hopefully the Proc modules for perl will be updated shortly after to support
Cygwin's version of /proc.

Yes everyone, I know about ps, but parsing ps puts you in a rather system
dependant nightmare, and ps is columnar so sometimes it truncates data you
might need.  I have O'Reilly's Perl for Sys Admins which has a nice little
chapter about process management.  Anyhow, ps is there in a pinch.

Thanks.
