Unix-PID (0.23)

A hideous interface to a bunch of unrelated functionality with bizarre prereqs. Utter garbage.

Have you ever wanted a single module that would let you (1) split "ps" output by column; (2) create lockfiles containing PIDs; and (3) call "kill" and "waitpid" through an awkward interface? If so, this is the one for you!

What do you think

$x = new Unix::PID;

does? If you thought it might create an object representing stuff about the current process, you would be wrong. If you want that, you use

$x->pid_info($$);

Yep. $x contains valuable state such as the location of "ps" on your system.
