Hi All, I'm using perl-xs to wrap a C library in my filter script. Much like a database connection, a handle (in the form of a pointer to a struct) is initialised at the start of the slave's lifecycle and passed back to C library for each mail and then freed when the slave terminates.
The problem is that each instance of the library handle takes up 30MB of memory. We have max slaves set at around 30 (30 * 30MB = a lot of memory required). So, is there an easy way to share this handle between slaves (the library is thread-safe)? My best candidate at present is to implement shared memory on the C side of the perl-xs wrapper. Thanks for any help on this, Chris __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
