Author How to set system limit through perl

Hi,

I can set limit on coredumpsize, stacksize, etc. using the limit command.

limit coredumpsize 2048

But how can I do the same thing from a perl script?

I tried Shell::Source but I guess its only for inherting environment.

TIA.

Correct. You could try BSD::Resource.
