What are you trying to share? In addition to Rob's suggestion of using
a database table (usually the best for important data or clustered
machines) there are other approaches like IPC::MM and MLDBM::Sync.
Basically, I need some way to
coordinate the children so each child can find out what the other
children are doing.
Either of the approaches I just mentioned would be fine for this.
BTW: I've been reading up a lot on J2EE lately and it appears more and
more that a J2EE app server could quite nicely provide for my needs
(despite all shortcomings and issues of course).
What is it that you think you'd be getting that you don't have now?
