Hmmm, save session IDs? Why aren't you just putting those in a cookie or in the URLs? If you meant to say session data rather than IDs, there are several good ways to do this, and IPC::ShareLite isn't one of them. It's too slow. If this is for a single machine, try either IPC::MM or MLDBM::Sync. If it's for a cluster, it's pretty hard to beat MySQL. - Perrin
