Nitrox:
I'm liking this thread, and it was interesting to hear why you are using File::Cache. Just a couple of things:
- Create a group for your 'short running scripts' and long running daemon to be a part of (this is probably possible in Win32 :).) Have the File::Cache write it's hierarchy to a place where only people in the group can read/write.
- Use a key, and encrypt the cache values. If you don't care if people can read through your keys, then this can add a smidge of integrity. That is, agree on a 'password' for all data being written to the key and then use an symmetric Crypt:: module.
Hope that's helpful...Good luck!
By the way, did you notice that on the File::Cache actually recomends using Cache::Cache instead? Hm...

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).
