Accidently posted this in the mediataions sections first. I'm using the IPC::ShareLite module to stored a serialised tree strucuture in shared memory. On Solaris the code works fine, I'm allocated a shared mem id that I can see using ipcs. However, on Mac OS X, lots of memory segements are produced and an error is given about too many open files, see below:

$ ./loadCodes

IPC::ShareLite store() error: Too many open files at <.pm file>
