in reply to Shared Memory Cache or Database?

If you're not looking for an SQL-y database but want something that maps more directly to an in-memory hash Redis probably is worth looking at. Slightly fancier / more featureful might be Riak (caveat I haven't looked at it in ages so I'm less sure what its performance characteristics are these days).

Yes - Redis is the first thing that came to my mind as well. You can use something like Tie::Redis to put this in more familiar perl ground. "Imaginary friends are a sign of a mental disorder if they cause distress, including antisocial behavior. Religion frequently meets that description"	[reply]

I second the suggestion of Redis. If you need to federate the shared memory over multiple logically seperated banks of memory you can use memcached. If you're on a large shared memory NUMA machine and want to do true* shared memory via light weight threads, the scripting language Qore may present some interesting options for you. It's very perlish. * updated	[reply]
