I'm not sure what the IPC::ShareLite problem is, maybe Maurice Aubrey
does...

In any case, consider switching to Cache::FileCache instead.

Preliminary benchmarks show that FileCache is just as fast as the
SharedMemoryCache, at least on my Linux 2.4 system.  And it is
significantly faster on large caches (either a large number of keys or
large values).
