How to put DBM .pag and .dir files in shared memory

bsykes has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have some large .pag/.dir files that I would like to store and access in shared memory (as they are to be used by many processes and require fast access). Does anybody know how this can be done???

With a Search on CPAN :-) ? Update: I used `IPC::ShareLite`, and it worked like a charm. IIRC shared memory as in 'physical memory, sdram, etc.' isn't what you want to use for very big data-chunks, I'd google on this if I were you before I'd start to implement something regards, tomte	[reply]
