Hello everyone, I am trying to use a IPC::Shareable tied hash to cache some data at the start of apache from my startup.pl script.
this is my startup.pl ------------- $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} =~ /^CGI-Perl/ or die "GATEWAY_INTERFACE not Perl!"; use Apache::Registry; use Apache::DBI; use IPC::Shareable; use GXV::Abonados; use strict; my %GLOBALDATA; my %options = ( create => 1, exclusive => 0, mode => 0666, destroy => 1, ); tie %GLOBALDATA, 'IPC::Shareable', 'GLUE', { %options } || die "tie failed\n"; my $gxv = GXV::Abonados->new || die "not able to connect to GXV\n"; eval { %GLOBALDATA = $gxv->paquetes_shared; }; die "Global data is not accessible: $@" if ($@); 1; -------------- The method GXV::Abonados::paquetes_shared() works, I have tried many forms of recieving (and returning of course) the data (a flat scalar, arrays, hashes). If I asign to *GLOBALDATA a short string or number it works, I checked IPC::Shareable::SHM_BUFSIZ(); and it's more than enough to hold the return value of $gxv->paquetes_shared; The worst of all is that Apache simply doesnt start, and I get no error message at all. Can someone please give me some insight? TIA, Best Regards, Juan Jose Natera
