  1. You could use ps -auxww | grep 'nameofrogueperlscript or ps -auxww | grep perl which may expose the information you are looking for.

    Use top, and hit 'c' to see full command line.

    Then you'll have it's name.

    Run locate NAME to find it. (if your locate database is up to date)

    If that doesn't work, you can use 'find' to find it from the root directory.
