Is there a way to somehow attach the required executable somehow inside the httpd alongside mod_perl (in resident memory) instead of forking out the call to the system.

A mod_perl script is a text file written in Perl, but 'top' is a binary executable compiled for your machine. They're like chalk and cheese. There are probably ways to do what you want to do but embedding an electric iron inside an internal combustion engine so that it will do your shirts on the way to work isn't one of them. If you can be more specific and forthcoming about your requirements we can be more help. 73, Ged. -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
