Are you asking how to use `system('gdb filename')`?, or how to manipulate the debugger from within Perl as well? (Try the Expect module, or Expect::Simple, in that case). – DavidO Jul 09 '12 at 07:14

ya Meanwhile I found the http://search.cpan.org/~jezra/Devel-GDB-2.02/lib/Devel/GDB.pm package which connect the gdb. But my purpose is to connect gdb than run core corefile and whre command into gdb and save the console output into file. – Jul 09 '12 at 07:26

You don't want to do that.
What you want to do instead, is figure out why your perl is crashing with a core dump in production. To do that, run
gdb /path/to/perl /path/to/core
on the production machine, then issue where command.
