SPUG: Process Size

[JP Montagnet]

It looks like Proc::ProcessTable slurps in the whole process table once,
then never refreshes, which may not be what you want.  I was thinking it
did some fancy tie() magic under the hood, but doesn't look like it.  Bah!

If you're on Linux, just parse the appropriate field out of /dev/$$/status
(or substitute the appropraite PID for $$ if monitoring another program).
Similar facilities ought to be available on the Unixes.
