Edit linux capabilities in Perl

Question

In a C program, you can edit your capabilities with cap_set_proc from libcap. How can I achieve the same in a Perl program?

Answer 1

Linux::Prctl may meet your needs.

If not, you can use syscall() and try to do it the hard way.

If that's unpalatable, too (and I would find it so), I'm sure CPAN would welcome you to contribute Linux::CapNG bindings...
