Undoubtably.  But how do you get the memory usage? read /proc/$$/mem or
something? there is not, AFAICTFRAQG (as far as I can tell from recollectio=
n
and quick googling) a line noise variable for current memory usage, and cpa=
n
only has a procfs module defined for Solaris.  So the question remains, aft=
er
choosing loghandler as the way to write to the log, how to get the memory
usage information?  Is there a better way than ps in backticks?
Proc::ProcessTable
might be the thing -- it appears to reimplement ps with the output as
a perl data
structure rather than linefeed-separated records.  There is also Unix::Proc=
ess,
but that is merely a wrapper  for ps in backticks.
