name: Olivier Poitrey email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] prefered id: RSOLIV description: I'm currently working on two modules for the apache web server that I would like to share with the CPAN's community. The first module make it easier to share data between children processes (optimised for mod_perl) through the shared memory (with IPC::ShareLite). This module internal working is a lot inspired by IPC::ShareCache. Its namespace is currently Apache::SharedMem, and I can already make an alpha version available for you. The second module is inherited from the first one, and allows a simple implementation of a cache which uses a close API from the one of Cache::Cache. This module does not only rest on time to decide whether datas are valid or not, but it also uses the maximum size taken in memory, or even on a maximum number of keys. I thought to Apache::Cache as a namespace. I'm available for answering to any question from you. PS: You can find Apache::SharedCache on my CVS : :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/u/serv/cvs using Apache-SharedCache as module name for checkout -- __________________________________________________________________________ O l i v i e r P o i t r e y
