Hi,

Has anyone worked with the LWP module under mod_perl and have they found 
that it works with no modification.

Thanks
David

IPC::ShareLite is writen in C (and hence faster (arguably)), but it does
not serial data structures, so either Freeze / Thaw or DataDumper are
you friends here.

I've seen IPC::Sharable working ok on Solaris 2.6 but cannot offer any
guideance as to why it may not work.

What version of Perl are you using? I had some problems with make test,
one of the tests doesn't return and I got a few munged shared memory
segment errors, I was attempting to install under Solaris 7 and Perl
5.6.0.

I started with IPC::SharedCache since it did most of what I wanted, but
took Sam Tregars advice and went with IPC::ShareLite (and serialised all
data myself with Storables freeze & thaw methods) and it works a dream.
One thing I couldn't seem to do was delete() tied IPC::Shareable hash
elements without getting the aforementioned "munged shared memory segment"
errors, which I can do with IPC::ShareLite.

I would like to ask the same question about IPC::Shareable.

Is anybody successfully using it under Solaris or OpenBSD?
"make test" hangs for me on these platforms and the module
author is unreachable :-(

http://vorpal.mcs.drexel.edu/bsd-ports/helix/shared-memory.html
doesn't seem to help on OpenBSD (increasing SHMMAXPGS up to 4096)

If not IPC::Shareable, what module do you use for fast
communication between Apache-children?

Yes, it works fine.  No mods.
