IPC::SharedCache is a Perl module to manage a cache in SysV IPC shared memory.

SYNOPSIS

use IPC::SharedCache;

# the cache is accessed using a tied hash.
tie %cache, IPC::SharedCache, ipc_key => AKEY,
load_callback => &load,
validate_callback => &validate;

# get an item from the cache
$config_file = $cache{/some/path/to/some.config};

This module provides a shared memory cache accessed as a tied hash.
Shared memory is an area of memory that is available to all processes. It is accessed by choosing a key, the ipc_key arguement to tie. Every process that accesses shared memory with the same key gets access to the same region of memory. In some ways it resembles a file system, but it is not hierarchical and it is resident in memory. This makes it harder to use than a filesystem but much faster. The data in shared memory persists until the machine is rebooted or it is explicitely deleted.

This module attempts to make shared memory easy to use for one specific application - a shared memory cache. For other uses of shared memory see the documentation to the excelent module I use, IPC::ShareLite (IPC::ShareLite).
A cache is a place where processes can store the results of their computations for use at a later time, possibly by other instances of the application. A good example of the use of a cache is a web server.

When a web server receieves a request for an html page it goes to the file system to read it. This is pretty slow, so the web server will probably save the file in memory and use the in memory copy the next time a request for that file comes in, as long as the file hasnt changed on disk.

This certainly speeds things up but web servers have to serve multiple clients at once, and that means multiple copies of the in-memory data. If the web server uses a shared memory cache, like the one this module provides, then all the servers can use the same cache and much less memory is consumed.

This module handles all shared memory interaction using the IPC::ShareLite module (version 0.06 and higher) and all data serialization using Storable. See IPC::ShareLite and Storable for details.

Parallel::Workers::Shared is a simple Perl module.

Parallel::Workers::Shared requires no configuration files or environment variables.

Search engines like Google do a fine job when it comes to search, but they do little to help us organise our past searches, nor do they make it easy for us to share our search experiences with others. This is more than just an inconvenience because very often we waste time re-searching for results that we know we found earlier. And even more often we find ourselves looking for information that one of our friends or colleagues has already found.

Enhancements:

• Added promotion filters that restrict result promotions in Google to results that have been selected numerous times, that have been tagged, or that have been voted up more times than they have been voted down.
• Added positive/negative promotion filters to stak creation so that users can cause URLs with the specified string to always or never be promoted on Google result pages.
• Result site favicons are used to annotate URLs promoted by positive filters (where available).
• Added timeouts which reset to the private "My Searches" stak after prolonged inactivity, and that expire the use of query terms as default tags and vote terms.
• Voting and page sharing have been added to the activity feed
• Share and remove options are greyed out in the stak menu for staks where this should not be possible (e.g. "My Searches").
• Added "Preview" feature via an icon next to results on the Google result list users can now browse through the result pages without leaving the result list.
• Enabled page sharing and preview features for non logged-in users.
• Improved the formatting of the icons inserted next to results on the Google result page so that they don't "jump" when results are moused-over.

Requirements:

• Mozilla Firefox
