=head1  DESCRIPTION

This module allows for control of processes in Perl.

=head1 METHODS

=over 8

=item Win32::Process::Create($obj,$appname,$cmdline,$iflags,$cflags,$curdir)

Creates a new process.

    Args:

	$obj		container for process object
	$appname	full path name of executable module
	$cmdline	command line args
	$iflags		flag: inherit calling processes handles or not
	$cflags		flags for creation (see exported vars below)
	$curdir		working dir of new process

=item Win32::Process::KillProcess($pid, $exitcode)

Terminates any process identified by $pid.  The process will exit
with $exitcode.

=item $ProcessObj->Suspend()

Suspend the process associated with the $ProcessObj.

=item $ProcessObj->Resume()

Resume a suspended process.

=item $ProcessObj->Kill( $ExitCode )

Kill the associated process, have it die with exit code $ExitCode.

=item $ProcessObj->GetPriorityClass($class)

Get the priority class of the process.

=item $ProcessObj->SetPriorityClass( $class )

Set the priority class of the process (see exported values below for
options).

=item $ProcessObj->GetProcessAffinitymask( $processAffinityMask, $systemAffinitymask)

Get the process affinity mask.  This is a bitvector in which each bit
represents the processors that a process is allowed to run on.

=item $ProcessObj->SetProcessAffinitymask( $processAffinityMask )

Set the process affinity mask.  Only available on Windows NT.

=item $ProcessObj->GetExitCode( $ExitCode )

Retrieve the exitcode of the process.

=item $ProcessObj->Wait($Timeout)

Wait for the process to die. forever = INFINITE

=item $ProcessObj->GetProcessID()

Returns the Process ID.
