It might be worth trying the Perl Monks (www.perlmonks.org), someone there may some ideaas on sharing objects. Also, if you run your 'logger' in its own thread and pass data to it via a queue, you don't need to share it (the queue is shared). > > To clarify: I have the daemon run on its own thread.

There is no guaranteed safe way to shut them down without terminating the program, and sometimes not even then.
