in reply to Efficient IPC

For an easy-to-install Pure Perl solution, consider DBM::Deep, which provides an efficient means to put a large sharable Perl hash (containing subhashes and subarrays) into a disk file.

    That looks very promising! Thanks a lot, I'll make sure to post an update when I've tested it.

      It turns out that DBM::Deep is too slow for my usage - I have to turn on autoflush and locking in order to use it for IPC, and that kills the speed.

      So, I'm looking into Spread instead..
