Hello All,
I have a perl script that would be running infinitely and updating
an array by processing some data. Now I would like to read the array
values that should not disturb this perl script.
I thought to use the concept of shared variable and write a method
in perl module which contains the array sharring with the infinitely
running perl script and return me the updated array values. But don't know how to proceed with this. Could anyone help me out?
I'm assuming that you need to connect to it from mod_perl, otherwise this question is quite offtopic here ;)
As suggested by Mark, IPC::Shareable might work if the data set is small. If it's big you can use a simple dbm to store the data in and with proper locking
read/write to/from it without disturbing each other.
