Re: problems in Perl process management

Reini - Thanks for replying man.
I didn't complain yet upstream at rt.cpan.org because I wanted to wait
for our 5.8.7 release. But you can do it by yourself also,


OK, I'm not that talented, so I didn't try fixing this bug, but I did report
it with a better testcase here:
	http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=12840


or fix it in this module XS. It's really easy with the cygwin provided translation functions.
See http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-02/msg00154.html

I had a look at your post, but out of curiosity, isn't it about adding
functionality for looking up the WINPID from the Cygwin process ID? Is the
fix really that simple?

Yes, that simple.


After all, Proc::ProcessTable misreports the PID and
PPID only under certain conditions -- this would indicate a complex issue in
Proc::ProcessTable XS code, right?

No. Just the translation is needed, but one has to specify somehow which pid's he wants. The cygwin pid's or the winpid's.
Both have their merits and usecases.
