IPC::ShareLite provides a simple interface to shared memory, allowing
|
||
|
|
data to be efficiently communicated between processes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It provides an abstraction of the shared memory and semaphore facilities
|
||
|
|
of SysV IPC, allowing the storage of arbitrarily large data; the module
|
||
|
|
automatically acquires and removes shared memory segments as needed.
|
||
|
|
Storage and retrieval of data is atomic, and locking functions are
|
||
|
|
provided for higher-level synchronization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In many respects, this module is similar to IPC::Shareable. However,
|
||
|
|
IPC::ShareLite does not provide a tied interface, does not (automatically)
|
||
|
|
allow the storage of variables, and is written in C for additional speed.
