A good package for this is IPC::Shareable. You can store info in semaphores
and share it between processes.
Another approach would be to use something like Apache::Session with a
common session ID of '0' or something of that short. Apache::Session has no
problem storing complex data structures, and by having each script tie to
session with ID '0', you access a common data store. I think the
Apache::Session docs talk a little bit about using the package to create
this type of shared memory store.
Hope this helps,
