Hey Monks!
I'm having a hard time today. I almost finished my program with over 9000 lines, but have one problem:

Communication between my worker (forked unit) and master (GUI unit) has a size issue: (worker fills shared array, master reads content into not shared array and cleans shared array.)
Length of shared data exceeds shared segment size at ./myprogram.pl line 1210.
Buffer size is declared to be "65536". (No idea of unit, I think it's bytes.) This happens on one array element, when the containing string is longer than 65536.

So, some data (just a few, but even losing one is one too much lost!), just strings, are longer than 65536 characters.
threads/threads::shared is deprecated ("Prior to Perl 5.8, 5005threads was available through the Thread.pm API. This threading model has been deprecated, and was removed as of Perl 5.10.0." https://perldoc.perl.org/threads.html) I've started using IPC::Shareable. For small tasks really perfect, but too-long strings are the hell here!
While the masters array still has space to be filled, the IPC::Shareable array is overflowing with only one element.

What I want to know:
- is there a possibility to increase the size?
- is there an alternative function, which allows me to share (bit long) text data between processes, without writing to disk? (Writing to Sqlite would decrease speed on this step extremely)

If you don't know something like this, the only idea I have left is to make a Sqlite database "transfer", with just one column "data", and each row contains one string of my array. Many forks writing to it (slow...) and master reading and cleaning this table, just to prepare it to be saved in correct table and correct columns...
