Re: PERL coredump limit

Erm, what do you think BSD::Resource's setrlimit() routine's for?

setrlimit( BSD::Resource::RLIMIT_CORE(),  0, 0 )
  or warn "Can't set core file size limit to 0: $!\n";

Note that you may well find that you can only increase the core file size limit if you're running as root. Hugo	[reply]

Right, a non-root user can only lower the hard limit (`rlim_max`) and/or set the soft (`rlim_cur`) anywhere between 0 and the current hard limit. But that's going to be the case whether you use BSD::Resource or the shell's `ulimit` builtin.	[reply]
