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).
