Hello Marshall,

Supporting the Windows platform took many attempts and am embarrassed to say how many hours spent just so that MCE::Shared works there too. What is cool about MCE::Shared is the ability to share data no matter how workers are spawned (e.g. via threads, via fork, MCE, MCE::Hobo, Parallel::ForkManager, and possibly other parallel modules).

The MCE module supports Perl 5.8 and above whereas MCE::Shared requires Perl 5.10.1. This is the reason the two modules are separated. There are still users out there wanting MCE to run on Perl 5.8 minimally (e.g. App::Netdisco, Test::Perl::Critic).

Regards, Mario.
