how to share variable like IPC::Shareable in win32 ?

[lsyx]

I use IPC::Shareable to share Perl variables between processes in
linux.

But it can't work in windows.

thanks!

If you want an interface similar to IPC::Shareable, where random
processes created independantly can locate the shared memory given an
appropriate ID, you may have some luck with Win32::MMF.

However, if your processes are all forked perl processes (that is, they
are all children of one parent), you can share variables by switching
from fork to threads and threads::shared. Fork is emulated using threads
under Win32 anyway.

thanks so much! The Win32::MMF is what i want.Maybe I can try
threads::shared later.
