and 'ps -e' ?

'ps -ax' doesn't work on either HP-UX nor AIX. I've just removed the 'f',
because I don't use it anyway.

Since this also works on HP-UX and AIX, I guess it is indead more portable.

Much appreciated if you'd be able to hack that in Makefile.PL

I've attached the 1.09 release

(Schwern, I've now got a complete Cygwin port on my laptop including ssh, ssl
 and cvs (not tried yet), could you be so kind to *litaraly* give an example
 on how to update CVS from the current state to what's in 1.09 given that
 these files are on /pro/3gl/CPAN/Test-Smoke. I'll give it yet another try)
