1) Yes.
2) I almost thing that a reverse would be better (i.e., ForkControl::Linux,
or similar). Your module could provide a generic interface (along with
a working Linux implementation), and others could contribute other
platform implementations. I would be interested in implementations on
AIX, IRIX, and Solaris, personally. If I can catch a few projects up
to date, I'd contribute the modules myself.
As an addendum, I think it would be useful to be able to differentiate between
CPU load and memory load, placing limits on both.
