Is there _any_ solution to sharing sockets? My WebMail server keeps a pool
of IMAP connections open (one per user) but it currently needs to create a
connection for every user for every process that they use. This is awfully
inefficient. I'm planning on creating a little Unix Socket daemon that keeps
a single pool of connections, and make all IMAP connections go through the
daemon. This seems like it should be unnecessary though--isn't there some
way of sharing sockets amongst processes?
PS: I second your suggestion to look at File::Cache--I use it for my session
store and find it excellent. Speed depends on your OS's bufferring, however.
