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!

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
