i am not sure of the mapping between process nos and process names

but there is anyway argv[0] !!!

but there are libraries in perl to access process table information
Package: libproc-process-perl (0.39-1)

You never mentioned which OS you are on. For a /proc based OS, see this - get process name from pid - getcommandline
