Catch pid for a process that created

[Mav]

Hi,
I am writing a perl script on windows that try to get the pid for a
program that created another processes.

......

@args = ("\"$devPath\\d evenv.com\" ..\\Solution\\M y.sln /build
Debug");
$pid = open my $proc, "@args |";
....


the $pid will give me the pid for devenv.com; However, the devenv.com
actually created another process name devenv.exe, is that a way I can
get that pid.

Thanks,
Mav

Don't know much about windows, but try the Win32::ToolHelp module.
It can provide process information.

That will give me the process devenv.com, but I still cannot get the
devenv.com. The problem I have is when I start my script that will
call devenv.com, however, the devenv.com will call devenv.exe, If I
using Ctrl-C to
stop (or install my SIG handler), I can only kill devenv.com, which
will leave the devenv.exe still running.

Any suggestion?
