You can modify it for example by using the lvalue form of substr().
MMapDB uses File::Map and provides some kind of a hash. (I have just uploaded version 0.07 that handles utf8 strings correctly (me thinks so)) There is a mod_slotmem.c floating around. It provides something like apache's scoreboard. That means each worker gets its own piece of shared memory to write to while all slots can be read by anyone. I think it can be interfaced to be used by Perl. Torsten
