I have a configuration hash that controls all the aspects of my application. It is updated while the server is running so it needs to be "refreshed" for all processes. What is the best way to share it globally and insure that updates are read by all processes? I currently store the hash using the Storable module so it is always in a hash ( well ok a hash reference ) format, that is no database access or ini file to modify/keep track of. When updates are made the hash is saved in the Storable format. I have tried some of the suggestions outlined by Stas on the Perl Month web site, but I am getting inconsistent results. ( http://www.perlmonth.com/columns/perl_apache/perl_apache.html?issue=11 ) I need to have the values available inside of several preloaded modules as well as at the page level. The configuration file is working great, expect for having to reboot when changes are made. Aaron Johnson
