The module BSD::Resource has been updated to version 1.05.

Issues addressed in this release:

- portability
 (now: AIX, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Solaris, SunOS)
- 64-bit resource limits (Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, IRIX)
- object oriented interfaces added: $ru->stime
- more rlimits recognized (NPROC, MEMLOCK)
- get_rlimits() function to list all the available rlimits
- documentation enhancements

The BSD::Resource gives an interface to the BSD process resource and
priority control functions

       getrusage()
       getrlimit()     setrlimit()
       getpriority()   setpriority()

Enjoy.
