          perlipc - Perl interprocess communication

     DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
          The IPC facilities of Perl are built on the Berkeley socket
          mechanism.  If you don't have sockets, you can ignore this
          section.  The calls have the same names as the corresponding
          system calls, but the arguments tend to differ, for two
          reasons.  First, Perl file handles work differently than C
          file descriptors.  Second, Perl already knows the length of
          its strings, so you don't need to pass that information.

          Here's a sample TCP client.

              ($them,$port) = @ARGV;
              $port = 2345 unless $port;
              $them = 'localhost' unless $them;

              $SIG{'INT'} = 'dokill';
              sub dokill { kill 9,$child if $child; }

              use Socket;

              $sockaddr = 'S n a4 x8';
              chop($hostname = `hostname`);

              ($name, $aliases, $proto) = getprotobyname('tcp');
              ($name, $aliases, $port) = getservbyname($port, 'tcp')
                  unless $port =~ /^\d+$/;
              ($name, $aliases, $type, $len, $thisaddr) =
                              gethostbyname($hostname);
              ($name, $aliases, $type, $len, $thataddr) = gethostbyname($them);

              $this = pack($sockaddr, &AF_INET, 0, $thisaddr);
              $that = pack($sockaddr, &AF_INET, $port, $thataddr);

              socket(S, &PF_INET, &SOCK_STREAM, $proto) || die "socket: $!";
              bind(S, $this) || die "bind: $!";
              connect(S, $that) || die "connect: $!";

              select(S); $| = 1; select(stdout);

          Here's a small example showing shared memory usage:

              $IPC_PRIVATE = 0;
              $IPC_RMID = 0;
              $size = 2000;
              $key = shmget($IPC_PRIVATE, $size , 0777 );
              die if !defined($key);

              $message = "Message #1";
              shmwrite($key, $message, 0, 60 ) || die "$!";
              shmread($key,$buff,0,60) || die "$!";

              print $buff,"\n";

              print "deleting $key\n";
              shmctl($key ,$IPC_RMID, 0) || die "$!";

          Here's an example of a semaphore:

              $IPC_KEY = 1234;
              $IPC_RMID = 0;
              $IPC_CREATE = 0001000;
              $key = semget($IPC_KEY, $nsems , 0666 | $IPC_CREATE );
              die if !defined($key);
              print "$key\n";

          Put this code in a separate file to be run in more that one
          process Call the file _t_a_k_e:

              # create a semaphore

              $IPC_KEY = 1234;
              $key = semget($IPC_KEY,  0 , 0 );
              die if !defined($key);

              $semnum = 0;
              $semflag = 0;

              # 'take' semaphore
              # wait for semaphore to be zero
              $semop = 0;
              $opstring1 = pack("sss", $semnum, $semop, $semflag);

              # Increment the semaphore count
              $semop = 1;
              $opstring2 = pack("sss", $semnum, $semop,  $semflag);
              $opstring = $opstring1 . $opstring2;

              semop($key,$opstring) || die "$!";
