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

    .....

    @args = ("\"$devPath\\devenv.com\" ..\\Solution\\My.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
