ln -s /dev/null core

just stick into any directory where you could
have a core dump.  You must be doing something
mission critical to be desperate to stop these,
but not mission critical enough to want to use
them.

Why not just get cron to recurse over your
directories eliminating core files when the
filesystem gets a little cramped?

I know it is dumb, but why not just wrap your
perl script in one of these coredump eliminating
shell scripts - the child processes will get
those properties.

Oh, and Perl probably does have a way of doing
this... try POSIX.pm, or the syscall function
(you'll need to know what to look for, ask a
C programmer how they do it).
