When using Subprocesses() with the WMI-variant, I get the output:
"Use of uninitialized value in numeric ge (>=) at
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Win32/Process/Info.pm line 670" two times.
After adding some debug output to Info.pm, I have found out, that the
"CreationDate" is undefined for some processes. On my Windows XP SP3,
these are the "Idle" process and the "System" process. I used the
Process Explorer from Sysinternals to double-check that and it did not
show a "Start Time" for these processes either.
I have created the attached patch to prevent the output.
It is just a "cosmetic" patch but I thought, you might be interested :-)
