Subject: Net::Server::_get_commandline results in wrong program name (on Linux)
_get_commandline prefers to fetch the commandline from /proc when available. this means that the exec will run "/usr/bin/perl" "-wT" "/myscript", and this in turn causes the process name stored in /proc/PID/stat (and /proc/PID/status) to be "perl" rather than "myscript". the consequence of this is that tools like pgrep/pkill myscript fail, you have to run "pkill -HUP myscript" the first time, and then "pkill -HUP perl" on subsequent HUPs. (obviously, the latter command may have unwanted consequences :-) IMHO it would be best to just rip out the code looking in cmdline, I don't see when it is useful. the code which makes an absolute path when needed is fine and should be kept.

I agree. I took out the proc fishing in 2.007.
