Very interesting. Looks like Cache::Mmap deserves more attention (and maybe a Cache::Cache subclass). > Have I missed something obvious? Nothing much, but I'd like to see how these numbers vary with the size of the data being written. And it would be good if there were a way to ensure that the data had not been corrupted at the end of a run. Also, I'd like to see MLDBM + BerkeleyDB (not DB_File) with BerkeleyDB doing automatic locking, and IPC::MM, and IPC::Shareable, and IPC::ShareLite (though it doesn't serialize complex data by itself), and MySQL with standard tables. Of course I could just do them myself, since you were kind enough to provide code. - Perrin
