Well, I just released IPC::Cache version 0.02 to CPAN. Two major caveats,
however -- first, it is not currently in production on our site
(www.eziba.com) and won't be for another week or two. Second, it relies
on IPC::ShareLite as a backend.
However, it does offer a very straightforward interface, and attempts to
manage the memory segments and clean up after them. We are running Linux
2.2 on the front end, btw, and that may account for why ShareLite seems
rather reliable for us.
I'd love it if you could download it and let me know it works for you.
We are planning on maintaining this, and would appreciate any feedback you
can give about how to improve it.
You can get IPC::Cache here:
