This Perl extension implements the BSD process resource limit functions getrusage() getrlimit() setrlimit() and the BSD process priority functions. These are available also via core Perl but here there are more tricks so that the PRIO_* are available. getpriority() setpriority() Also is provided times() -- which provides the same functionality as the one in core Perl, only with better time resolution. get_rlimits() -- a pure perl function with no BSD analog to find which limits are available
