Hello,

I've just started working with Perl and wanted to ask if there's a functionality for the following:

a) having a perl script compute some values

b) making those values globally reachable in such way so that other perl scripts can use them.

What I want to do:

A. have the output of the iproute package tc -s -d cl sh dev eth0 and eth1 copied in 2 files : stats.down, stats.up

(using a bash crontab rule)
I have already done this.

B. load these 2 files in 2 arrays($down and $up) then:

store in an index array the position in the $down array where each qos class has it's "Sent Bytes" stored.
(this is the same position for $up)

- I have already done this too -

With this data recomputed each 5 minutes I'd like to know if there any possibility for another script(rate.pl) to access the computed $index and the $down, $up arrays from the previous script (without recalculating them).

Then I would just call this second script for each traffic class I have and get the "Sent Bytes" without recomputing everything and eating up resources.

Am I looking for the impossible ? :)
