Perl equivalent for Unix ps.

Hi all,
Is there any Perl function which works like the Unix ps command?
I've looked through the manuals for Perl functions and couldnt find
anything similar in nature.

I'm rewriting a Bourne shell script in Perl and the sh script uses the
ps from a lot of different places, /usr/bin/ps sometimes, /usr/ucb/ps
other times. I wanted to rewrite in Perl to get over that, and in all
the examples I see, the Perl scripts use /usr/bin/ps or /usr/ucb/ps in
backticks or from system("<PATH>/ps").

Is there anyway I can use Perl's internal functions to identify/monitor
the process and stop/kill them?
I realize there's Proc::ProcessTable .pm for this, but I want my
distribution to include just the Perl script and have it do it all.
I'm working on Solaris, Perl 5.6.

Thanks for your time,
Prabh
