Hello,

I am attempting to create a system where there is one parent process that contains a hash of Net::SSH::Perl connections. This parent process listens to a UNIX Domain socket and when a connection is detected, fork()s off a child process to handle the requests of this child.

To keep it simple, let's say that each child process just wants to connect to the server and issue a "ls" through the existing Net::SSH::Perl connection. If a connection to the desired host doesn't already exist in the hash of already-authenticated connections, the child will attempt to connect. If successful, it issues the "ls". The catch is, I want to store this new Net::SSH::Perl connection in my global hash so that other children will have access to it.

Cache::Cache modules will not work, as the Net::SSH::Perl contain CODE refs and Storable doesn't handle these.

I've considered mod_perl, but that will only give me persistence of the Net::SSH::Perl cached connections on a per-httpd-process level, not a global level. (A user could theoretically hit two different processes and cause two Net::SSH::Perl connections to be created/maintained/cached).

Anyone have a suggestion regarding this? Even possible?

thanks.
