Apache::Session::File

Hello,
I ma trying to use this module to store persident data on file
on win32 environment.
I use the code:

use Apache;
use Apache::Session::File;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

print header();
print start_html;
  
 my %global_data;
 
 eval {
     tie %global_data, 'Apache::Session::File', 1,
        {Directory => '/temp/sessiondata'};
 };
 if ($@) {
    die "Global data is not accessible: $@";
 }
 
print "hello";

print end_html;

I get error in apache logs :
Can't locate IPC/SysV.pm in @INC 

do I need the IPC/SysV.pm module?
I have searched the documentation but i don't see a simple clear example
to do this.

Can you help please?

Thanks

How do i change this locking mechanish of win32?
Am i using the wrong module? From apache::session::* modules
do you know which are supposed to work on win32?

Thanks

You need to change the locking mechanism on Win32 to not use IPC. I believe 
there are examples for using Flock based locking but am not sure.

If you are using win32 mod_perl, locking is irrelevant anyway because all 
requests are serialized through one engine.
