Basically, you can delete an IPC::ShareLite segment 'FOOO' like this:
{
my $share = IPC::ShareLite->new('-key' => 'FOOO', '-create' => 0,
'-destroy' => 1);
}
Since destroy is set true the segment is deleted when $share goes out of
scope. As for where this code should go in your application, I think
you'll need to figure that out.
Of course, if you're only interested in doing it manually, 'ipcs' and
'ipcrm' are what you're looking for.
