Good answers to the wrong quiestion ;-)
I think the requirement is to find the process id of the parent process.
$ENV{PPID} might give you that (it does on Solaris 8 which doesn't have
$PID) or you might be able to find out by calling C<getppid>.
perl -V:d_getppid
will tell you whether your perl supports this call.
perldoc -f getppid
for what it's worth ;-)
