- setpgrp PID,PGRP

  Sets the current process group for the specified PID, `0` for the current process. Raises an exception when used on a machine that doesn't implement POSIX setpgid(2) or BSD setpgrp(2). If the arguments are omitted, it defaults to `0,0` . Note that the BSD 4.2 version of `setpgrp` does not accept any arguments, so only `setpgrp(0,0)` is portable. See also `POSIX::setsid()` .

  Portability issues: setpgrp in perlport.
