Last time I checked, perl's threads wasn't very popular to use. Now
that's
a discussion on it's own I guess, and not the intensions of this email to
get into. I'm planning to develop a rather large perl application. Due
to
complexity, I plan to run multiple processes, each process being spawned
from a single main process... Is there any way that I can share data
between them?
Lots of ways. Here's one that's worked for me. The shared data live in
some convenient location, like a directory, a file, or a database,
depending upon your needs. A little glue code in a module handles
access to the data in a consistent way, maybe using something from the
Tie::* hierarchy to provide a simple interface.
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. This has been recommended to me by someone off
the list as well (or something relatively close to it), and unfortunately is
not going to be very efficient. It's going to kill the system as far as
disk IO is concerned. I'm talking about 200+ variables here, about half of
which will change approximately every 10ms (some even less). Doing 100 odd
disk writes/reads every 10ms, plus more than likely searching through open
files for a specific variable, and closing it in time so that it can be
written again... Don't think it will be feasable.
I'll need to do this in memory I'm afraid... :(
