Dear All

I have a Perl script which creates/update persistence cache file on the disk using Storable.

Lately I have observed an issue. Basically one of the members
had killed the script in between and this has corrupted the persistence cache and I'm not able to recover from that point.

We store the counts of processed files as well as individual counts per each hour into the cache file. This is a hash ref that gets stored.
I'd like to know is there any fallback mechanism or any technique which can get the data from the corrupted cache file.

Thank you for your time.

• 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).
