You misunderstood. $shmid is the wrong name, you are getting the address of the mmapped area, not a shared memory ID. mmap(2) has nothing to do with the SysV IPC facilities.
I am not entirely certain on how to use mmap(2) as an alternative to shared memory, since I've never done that, but my reading of the docs and manpage suggest that it is limited to passing down the mmap to child processes on fork. I could be wrong here though, as I said, since I've never tried to use the facility in that capacity.
Makeshifts last the longest.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
