Hi,

I have a simple script to test variable sharing between two perl processes, 

 use IPC::Shareable;
$robj = {status=>'init'};
tie $robj->{status}, 'IPC::Shareable', 'data_glue', {create => 1, mode
=> 664, destroy => 1};
$pid = fork();
unless(defined $pid){
print "Error durigng fork\n";
}

if($pid){
$robj->{parent=>'parent'};
}else{

tie $robj->{status}, 'IPC::Shareable', 'data_glue', {create => 0, mode
=> 664, destroy => 0};
$robj->{status} = 'updated';
sleep(5);
exit(0);
}

print "\n", $robj->{status}, "\n";

When i run i get following error. 

IPC::Shareable::SharedMem: shmget: Permission denied
 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/IPC/Shareable.pm line 566
Could not create shared memory segment:
 at test_ipc_shareable.pl line 3

Problem: I get above error when run as user account other than 'root' . But the script used to work before, but started throwing this error, after server where this script runs was down due to storage corruption. I am getting this error after server came online. I am using perl v5.8.3 and IPC::Shareable v0.60. I tried reinstalling the package, using cpan shell, force make IPC::Shareable', but the unfortunately 'test IPC::Shareable' fails.

Does any one know how to resolve this? Because running as 'root' creates other problems for my main scripts.

Thanks in advance,
katharnakh
