in reply to Virtual Disk for Perl

This project has been done, at least partially, already. See perlfs. It works on linux but is intended to be ported to other operating systems.

I recall that someone wrote another one a long time ago, perhaps in perl 4. I think that it was used in research about distributed file systems and cryptography.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

    Many thanks! But is not exactly what I want. It's not portalbe, and pure Perl:

    "PerlFS is a combination of a Linux kernel module and some Perl scripts which allow to write filesystems in Perl. It currently works with Linux kernel 2.2 or 2.4..."

    But I will take a look, maybe to integrate my module to the system or make a XS for it, since for now it has access only from Perl programs.

    I was thinking that I can make an extension of this module to make some IPC, for shared memory for any OS!
