NAME
       Unix::PID::Tiny - Subset of Unix::PID functionality with smaller mem-
       ory footprint

VERSION
       This document describes Unix::PID::Tiny version 0.5

SYNOPSIS
	   use Unix::PID::Tiny;
	   my $pid = Unix::PID::Tiny->new();

	   print Dumper $pid->pid_info_hash( $misc_pid );

	   if ($pid->is_running($misc_pid)) {
	       $pid->kill( $misc_pid ) or die "Could not stop $misc_pid";
	   }

DESCRIPTION
       Like Unix::PID but using a simple hash based object instead of
       Class::Std and supplying only a few key functions.

INTERFACE
       new()

       See Unix::PID’s new()

       kill()

       See Unix::PID’s kill()

       pid_info_hash()

       See Unix::PID’s pid_info_hash()

       is_pid_running()

       See Unix::PID’s is_pid_running()

       _raw_ps()

       See Unix::PID’s _raw_ps()

       If $self->{’ps_path’} is ever set to anything invalid at any point it
       is simply not used and ’ps’ by itself will be used.
