Hi Salvatore,

hmm, - some thinking process - yes, agreed. Thanks for explanation.

Best regards
Wolfgang

But I think this in the documentation because of this:

The elements of @{ $p->table } are Proc::ProcessTable *objects*, the
documentation to the table methods states:

       table
           Reads the process table and returns a reference to an array
           of Proc::ProcessTable::Process objects. Attributes of a
           process object are returned by accessors named for the
           attribute; for example, to get the uid of a process just do:

           $process->uid

           The priority and pgrp methods also allow values to be set,
           since these are supported directly by internal perl
           functions.

You see that e.g. by dumping with Data::Dumper:

---[ example ]---------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Proc::ProcessTable;
use Data::Dumper;

my $p = Proc::ProcessTable->new();
                                                                                                                                                                                    
foreach $ref ( @{ $p->table } ) {
    print Dumper($ref);
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the $ref's are process objects, hashrefs blessed into
Proc::ProcessTable objects. I think thus the notation in documentation
of Proc::ProcessTable makes sense this way.

Well okay you *can* access the keys of $ref via $ref->{uid}, as this
is a hashreference, blessed into Proc::ProcessTable.

Do you agree?

Regards
Salvatore
