FreeBSD is not really supported #13

http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=P9Y-ProcessTable+1.08 shows no test reports for FreeBSD, despite it is one of the most often tested platforms (after Linux). Reason is probably that BSD::Process does not pass tests since FreeBSD 9 (see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88975 ). The bug report is quite old and and it does not seem that the current maintainer will fix it.

What are the solutions?

tell users to force install BSD::Process (after all it may be that the test failure is not that problematic)?
take over maintainership of the module?
use another implementing module --- it would be even pragmatic to use Proc::ProcessTable here, which has quite good FreeBSD support?

This option does not apply for FreeBSD 11, see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=122947
