IPC::Shareable

[Robert L. Harris]

Is anyone using IPC::Shareable?

I'm trying to use it so some children can pass up info to the parent
before they die.  So far this looks to be the cleanest way.  When I
try to read $buffer (almost directly from the PCB) I get this error:

Buffer is
Uncaught exception from user code:
        IPC::Shareable::FETCH: semctl returned false: Invalid argument at ./encodeit line 165
        Carp::croak('IPC::Shareable::FETCH: semctl returned false: Invalid argument') called at /usr/local/lib/site_perl/IPC/Shareable.pm line 114
        IPC::Shareable::FETCH('IPC::Shareable=SCALAR(0x8297454)') called at ./encodeit line 165


I rebuilt Storable and IPC::Shareable cleanly right before I ran this.

Anyone have any thoughts?
