Answer 1

Can anyone provide me info to connect gdb from perl script.

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.
