Yes, there is no guarantee that you can use Perl to exhaust any system- wide resource. Just like there is no way to use up all your swap space from Perl as long as the swap filesystem is larger than your virtual memory address space. So I guess for these kind of tasks Perl may not always be the best tool and a more low level approach may be more appropriate.
