# The devel/p5-Proc-Background port

## p5-Proc-Background-1.10p0 – peek at lexical variables

## Description

    This is the Proc::Background package.  It provides a generic interface
    to running background processes.  Through this interface, users can
    run background processes on different operating systems without
    concerning themselves about the specifics of doing this.  Users of
    this package create new Proc::Background objects that provide an
    object oriented interface to process management.  The following
    methods are provided to users of the Proc::Background package:

        new:        start a new background process.
        alive:      test to see if the process is still alive.
        die:        reliably try to kill the process.
        wait:       wait for the process to exit and return the exit status.
        start_time: return the time that the process started.
        end_time:   return the time when the exit status was retrieved.
