Monks, in one of my computer there's a process running that writes data to a shared memory every second. 
------ Shared Memory Segments --------

This code was developed by someone else in C. And I want to write a perl code/utility to read this shared memory and logs it to a file. Of course I know which shmid to connect to since there's a pattern to create it.

I'm searching to see what's the best way of doing it...any recommendations/directions?...thanx...
