[renodino] has been unable to find a binary edit utility for the Linux platform.

For setting stacksize, you need the API function setrlimit(2); the manpage refers you also to the bash builtin 'ulimit' and quotactl(1).

Trying that locally against an example from What perl operations will consume C stack space?:

zen% ulimit -s
8192
zen% perl -wle '$n=shift; $_="a" x $n; /(ab*)+/' 10080
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
zen% ulimit -s 32768 
zen% perl -wle '$n=shift; $_="a" x $n; /(ab*)+/' 10080
zen% perl -wle '$n=shift; $_="a" x $n; /(ab*)+/' 32766
zen% perl -wle '$n=shift; $_="a" x $n; /(ab*)+/' 32767
Complex regular subexpression recursion limit (32766) exceeded at -e l
+ine 1.

.. which gets me to the builtin limit.

Note that the limit may be capped by root, and that more complex systems may use the quota-based accounting method; but any barriers are there to stop people increasing stack size, so they shouldn't cause a problem for your requirements here.
