NAME
Win32::Getppid - Implementation of getppid() for windows
VERSION
version 0.06
SYNOPSIS
use Win32::Getppid;
my $parent_pid = getppid;
DESCRIPTION
This module simply provides an implementation of getppid for Windows,
where it is usually missing. It doesn't do anything on non-Windows
platforms, so you can safely make it a non-OS specific dependency for
your CPAN module.
FUNCTIONS
getppid
Returns the parent process id for the current process. This is imported
by default only in a real Windows environment ($^O eq 'MSWin32'). On
Cygwin getppid returns the cygwin parent process, for the real windows
parent process id on cygwin you can use the fully qualified version:
my $windows_ppid = Win32::Getppid::getppid();
