My brain-o.  The process size stuff works, the shared size doesn't,
and it appears that freebsd doesn't collect such info so it probably
never will.  The brians over in freebsd-hackers had no useful
suggestion to make it work.

I think that the docs for freebsd should note that the shared size
computation is totally incorrect -- as it is now it only gives you the
shared text segment, which is essentially only the compiled C code
parts of perl.
