Dear jcb,

Storable looks pretty good, BUT: the locking mechanism is unsatisfactory. If more than one child is going to manipulate the array, it following could happen: child A lock_retrive array, change array (!), lock_store array. At position of ! another child B could do the same... This means, I'd have to build my own locking mechanism... (Yes, there can be more than one child at my application. ^^' )
The other way I see combining it with the hint of "Anonymous Monk": Generating separate name spaces for each child, and tell the parent only the name of the space when done... The actual problem here would be how many stores may I create until I reach any storage limits? (Multiple IPC::Shareables are limited, too...)

Anyways: It sounds faster than using database, so I surely will consider it. (Especially it seems to be implemented in Perl already.)
