( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
By the way, it's an assumption that you're trying to create IPC between two different programs (as opposed to use Sys::Mmap for what it's good for). I know it's annoying to ask for help and have people make assumptions, and the assumptions *are* sometimes wrong, but they're *usually* right. In this case, it's extremely common for people to try to figure out how to create shared variables between threads/tasks/processes/programs. Since there is no clean, easy way to do this that suits all situations, there is no readily forthcoming documentation or short FAQ entries. If you're interested in Coro, and I hope you are, the (brand spankin' new!) (shameless plug alert) book Perl 6 Now: The Core Ideas Illustrated with Perl 5 has a few chapters on it and a chapter on threading in Perl. It deals with some of these ideas I just mentioned here - creating a server process that speaks HTTP (or whatever) and handles requests in parallel, and shares data structures between threads, and wiring together user interfaces with networking modules and so on. mmap() isn't introduced, but that's for a reason ;)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
