Thank you. I should add that performance speed is a really big concern here. Given that additional information what module would you recommend?

    The fastest options are IPC::MM and Cache::Mmap. However, Cache::Cache and MLDBM::Sync are fast enough for most things and easy to setup. You may be surprised to learn that file-based systems tend to be faster than shared memory systems on OSes like Linux that aggressively cache the file system.
