Re: mod_perl shared memory with MM

[Christian Jaeger]

For all of you trying to share session information efficently my 
IPC::FsSharevars module might be the right thing. I wrote it after 
having considered all the other solutions. It uses the file system 
directly (no BDB/etc. overhead) and provides sophisticated locking 
(even different variables from the same session can be written at the 
same time). I wrote it for my fastcgi based web app framework (Eile) 
but it should be useable for mod_perl things as well (I'm awaiting 
patches and suggestions in case it is not). It has not seen very much 
real world testing yet.

You may find the manpage on 
http://testwww.ethz.ch/perldoc/IPC/FsSharevars.pm and the module (no 
Makefile.PL yet) under http://testwww.ethz.ch/eile/download/ .

Cheers
Christian.
