process resource limits with pure Perl vs BSD::Resource?

princepawn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Net::FTPServer is dependant on BSD::Resource however on my Sparc Solaris system, BSD::Resource does not have the get_rlimits() and set_rlimit() functions of BSD::Resource. But the BSD::Resource does state:

This Perl extension implements the BSD process resource limit function
+s

        getrusage()     getrlimit()     setrlimit()

and the BSD process priority functions.  These are available also via
core Perl
[download]

but man perlfunc did not show that any such functions were available... are any such functions available in Perl core?

This is actually very simple to answer. Just look in <sys/resource.h> or <bits/resource.h> and see which process resources are listed. why don't you do a little research before posting princepawn?	[reply]
