No; you are wrong. They do apply to the httpd child process when
using Apache::Resource.
Here's how I set it up:
# limit CPU usage in seconds
PerlSetEnv PERL_RLIMIT_CPU 90:600
# limit DATA segment in MB
PerlSetEnv PERL_RLIMIT_DATA 32:64
PerlChildInitHandler Apache::Resource
Then in my startup.perl script I "use Apache::Resource".
The CPU time is indeed enforced on the mod_perl code.
