True. I think the weasel formula I prefer here is a bit different. It 
might be reasonable to say something along the lines of:

    To the extent it is prevented by the Perl Safe module, there is no
    way provided to access internals of the database server process or
    to gain OS-level access with the permissions of the server process,
    as a C function can do.
