%description
Why should one use a module to get the PID and the PPID of a process
where there are the `$$' variable and the `getppid()' builtin ? (Not
mentioning the equivalent `POSIX::getpid()' and `POSIX::getppid()'
functions.)

In fact, this is useful on Linux, with multithreaded programs. Linux' C
library, using the linux thread model, returns different values of the
PID and the PPID from different threads. (Other thread models such as
NPTL don't have the same behaviour). This module forces perl to call the
underlying C functions `getpid()' and `getppid()'.
