Hello Jonny, Thanks for the response. I wondered in what kernel version the change happened. I found: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0312.2/0160.html http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.4/10/fs/proc/proc_misc.c and from looking at fs/proc/proc_misc.c I think "Inactive" was introduced and "Inact_*" removed in 2.4.10. On the RHEL3 host I'm on the osrelease file has "2.4.21-51.EL". Hope this helps. Cheers, Peter (Stig) Edwards

Hi Peter, version 0.39_01 is uploaded. If the developer version is available on CPAN you can install it with #> cpan -i BLOONIX/Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.39_01.tar.gz Please run your tests and give me a feedback. If the new version runs without errors then I can upload a full version. Cheers, Jonny
