Hello all, This is directed to the PerlMonks that have C background as well

I have a program that uses Tie::Win32MemMap to share data ( A Hash ) between several other perl programs we use. Another program is being written (actualy, it's a perl prorgam I wrote that is being ported to C ) and it needs to be able to access the shared memory as well.

He's able to access the Memory Space but, can't make heads or tails of the data (hash structure) there. He's going to have to be able to read and write to the memory space just like the perl programs do.

How do you go about this? It really is a C question but, since the memory space was created with perl, I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks much for any help.

Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily.
