Subject: Shared cache with IPC::Shareable
> Hi all,
>
> I'm sharing memory between httpd processes using IPC::Shareable. It is
working
> but seems to behave inconsistently (memory is often not being freed
etc..). I'm
> using it for creating common cached areas for file and database contents
shared
> between httpd children. Is there a better way to do this i.e. Am I stuck
with
> IPC::Shareable? I'm running mod_perl and the whole application is running
as a
> single content handler.

> It also isn't as fast as I thought it would be - sure it takes a long
time to
> do the initial load of all caches on the first request, but I just thought
it
> would be a little faster than it is. Are there any performance issues I
should
> be aware of with IPC::Shareable or shared mem in general?
