I'm sort of new to shared memory and sockets, but i'm trying to write a tcp/ip listener, that reads and parses a message from a client, then stores the new message and the socket object in a shared memory variable.
I keep getting the following error:
Can't store GLOB items at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into blib/li +b/auto/Storable/_freeze.al) line 180, <GEN1> line 1, at /usr/lib/perl +5/site_perl/5.6.1/IPC/Shareable.pm line 523
Is there a way to store the socket object in the shared memory variable? Here is the code
use IPC::Shareable; use IO::Socket; my $Socket = IO::Socket::INET->new( LocalPort => 8190, Type => SOCK_STREAM, Reuse => 1, Listen => 1 ); if (not defined $Socket){ die "ERROR: cannot listen on port 8190: [$!]\n"; } my %options = ( create => 'yes', exclusive => 0, mode => 0666, destroy => 'yes' ); $IPC2 = tie $ProcessedMessages, 'IPC::Shareable', 'data', { %options } + or die "client: tie failed\n"; $ProcessedMessages = []; ... while($client = $Socket->accept()){ my $msg; $msg = <$client>; chomp $msg; my $pid = fork(); if(not defined $pid){ die "Fork Error: $!\n"; } #Child if($pid == 0){ &Process($msg, $client); exit(); }else{ close($client); } } sub Process{ my $msg = $_[0]; my $client = $_[1]; ...Do Some Message Processing... $IPC2->shlock; my %tmp = ( Message => $msg, Connection => $client ##Problem ); push(@{$ProcessedMessages},\%tmp); $IPC2->shunlock; print $client "$msg\n"; close($client); }
