which perl version are you using ?

# type perl
# perl -V

do you still have the old FreeBSD 4.8 base system perl ?
or are you running perl from ports ?

# ls -l /usr/bin/perl*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19 May  1 13:42 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19 Dec  4  2003 /usr/bin/perl5 -> /usr/local/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19 May  1 13:42 /usr/bin/perl5.8.2 ->
/usr/local/bin/perl

it works, here !

PID    TTY        STAT     START                    COMMAND
...
52884  /dev/ttyp0 pause    Sun Jun 20 02:27:50 2004 -ksh
...

do you have /proc mounted ?

# mount -t procfs
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

do you install p5-Proc-ProcessTable from ports or packages ?
is it in the right place (mine goes in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4
instead of /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 since I don't have
an up-to-date perl) ?

# pkg_info -L p5-Proc-ProcessTable*
