What version of Perl are you using? I had some problems with make test,
one of the tests doesn't return and I got a few munged shared memory
segment errors, I was attempting to install under Solaris 7 and Perl
5.6.0.

I started with IPC::SharedCache since it did most of what I wanted, but
took Sam Tregars advice and went with IPC::ShareLite (and serialised all
data myself with Storables freeze & thaw methods) and it works a dream.
One thing I couldn't seem to do was delete() tied IPC::Shareable hash
elements without getting the aforementioned "munged shared memory segment"
errors, which I can do with IPC::ShareLite.
