Using MLDBM::Sync worked perfectly, thanks. Up until the point I realised im gonna have to share an array :)
So back to the shared memory question, whats going wrong there?

    MLDBM::Sync can share arrays. What's the problem?

      Oh right. Can you give me a hint how it does that, I can only see how to do hashes at the moment. Simply replacing the hash with array gives: 
      TIEARRAY not handled by object MLDBM::Sync at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
+/5.6.0/MLDBM/Sync.pm line 60.

        Just put an array ref in one of the hash values. It works like MLDBM. $tied_hash{my_array} = [1,2,3];
