All,
I have a problem.
I want to use data in XML format and store it in memory for obvious reasons
of speed and to utilise the capabilities of XML. I also want to load the
data at server start up time.
The problem arises with the size of the data. I end up with six children
each with 150MB of data. Needless to say I've run out of memory and the
error_log gives error msgs about not being able to fork.
I really would like to keep the data in XML format and not use a DB. How can
I make it so that the children reference one copy of data and not have their
own.
I've tried assigning the $doc from $xp->parsefile to IPC::Shareable but that
keels over under the load.
I could maybe get away with not loading the data at startup time but how can
the children reference it?
Have I over looked a simple strategy? Or Wot!!
Thanks in advance
-Ants.
