Thanks for the tip perigeeV I think I found my solution, albeit not as elegant as I had hoped.
I couldn't use the shared memory function because IPC::ShareLite won't compile on Win32 and is required. But Cache::Cache will still compile with it.
So my solution is to use Cache::FileCache. I've include two quick proof of concept scripts to demonstrate:
First run the 'writer':
# Program 1
use Cache::FileCache;
my $cache = new Cache::FileCache({ 'namespace' => 'SharedCache', 'defa
+ult_expires_in' => 600 } );
my $passed_data = "This is a passed string";
$cache->set( "Data", $passed_data, "10 minutes" );
Then run the 'reader':
#Program 2
use Cache::FileCache;
my $cache = new Cache::FileCache( { 'namespace' => 'SharedCache', 'def
+ault_expires_in' => 600 } );
my $passed_data = $cache->get("Data");
print "$passed_data\n";
Looks like a winner, and only after about 18hrs of banging my head against the pile of soda cans on my desk!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
