in reply to Shared variables under win32?
Use Storable freeze/thaw to do the serialisation and then Win32::API::Prototype to access the APIs for one of the 9 forms of IPC available.
Win32::Clipboard is one of the easiest (and fastest) IPC mechanisms, though with the binary data produced by Storable, you will probably have to pass the data as CF_BITMAP to fake out the formatting.
