I just uploaded Mac::Apps::Launch. Now IsRunning() returns the PSN, instead

of simple true/false (1/0).

Here's a fun, simple, and efficient script to kill the Dock (which should

relaunch immediately):

   use Mac::Apps::Launch 1.92;
   use Mac::Processes;
   use POSIX 'SIGTERM';

   my $psn = IsRunning('com.apple.dock');
   kill SIGTERM, GetProcessPID($psn);

Don't try that with Launch 1.91!
