Answers:
All sorts of, thank you ...
1. use gcore(1) to coredump a running process.
2. noone seems to have a running undump on Solaris 2.X.
3. (perl-specific)
a) Use the GNU emacs unexec() feature;
see perl FAQ, e.g. http://www.perl.com/perl/faq/Q3.11.html
b) An alpha version of a perl compiler exists,
see http://www.perl.com/perl/news/compiler-alpha1.html
