On unix you can do a perl compile using perlcc. Maybe there is a windoze version?

ans to question #2: You use the task manager in windows to do a ps -ef and you use file exploiter for df -k. Now if you converted your nt box to linux you would have ps and df available.

For Q2:

You can use CYGWIN : http://www.cygwin.com/
Using CYGWIN you can execute most of the unix command on windows.
The ps command reference for CYGWIN is:

For question 2
run the command called
"tasklist" its a windows command to list all the process

Another approach would be to install Microsoft's Services for UNIX (SFU). You are aware than NT is obsolete? There's nothing quite like porting to an obsolete platform from the getgo.

Installing ActivePerl is trivially easy; that would be my approach.

Q1: I never use any system that has no perl installed, but "par" might be your friend:

http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PAR-0.87/

It packages your script, all required modules and config into one executable. I never used it myself, so YMMV

Q2: Proc::ProcessTable also works on Cygwin, but I think that if you're targetting real win32 platform (not djgpp or cygwin), http://search.cpan.org/~jdb/libwin32-0.24/ and http://search.cpan.org/~rpagitsch/Win32-Process-List-0.01/ are there to solve this problem

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
