in reply to Module to parse output from Unix ps command?
P9Y::ProcessTable promises "will portably access the process table, no matter what the OS, and normalize its outputs to work similar across all platforms" but I have not idea how well it delivers on those promises. Not sure what motivated the author to pick "P9Y" as the top level name space either...
