Perrin, No :-) 'course I did. Thanks.. I had a play with the two IPC ones you sent, Shareable and MM..

Umm. Ok... Does that mean I'm doomed?

The CMS we use builds static content.. (is that what you mean?) so it caches the whole site in one go I guess.. never been one for dynamic content ;-).. But there are places where I'm going to need dynamic content - I would like to be able to do this in principle.. I mean, I would like to cache my parsed stylesheets/xml in mem. rather than re-parsing all the time.. And I'm getting some mileage out of experimenting with this anyhow - if it doesn't work for LibXML it looks like it could be very useful for other stuff, and if it ever works bug-free(-ish) I'd like to give something back to all the CPAN-people who've written things I use.. Kindest, Jim.
