Hi,
Last time I checked, perl's threads wasn't very popular to use. Now that's
a discussion on it's own I guess, and not the intensions of this email to
get into. I'm planning to develop a rather large perl application. Due to
complexity, I plan to run multiple processes, each process being spawned
from a single main process... Is there any way that I can share data
between them?
Say, uhm...
Main_Proc.pl
Sub_Proc1.pl - $var = blah
Sub_Proc2.pl - I want to use $var
The main thing is that they are all running on their own perl interpreter.
I therefore don't believe that it would be so easy to do. On the other
hand, I've seen this being done before on some really large perl
applications we used - unfortunately, I was not part of the development
group, so I don't know how / what they did.
In VB for example, I would just use a single class that is shared between
multiple threads. Each thread can then for example set or alter any
variable inside the class, and the change would reflect obviously on the
other threads utilising that class. But - that's threads, not processes.
Can something similar be used in Perl? Say, multiple processes using the
same module perhaps?
Is there perhaps somewhere I can read up on things like this with some good
examples and documentation?
Thanks,
Chris
