Tie::ShareLite provides for a tied hash interface to the IPC::ShareLite module that is very similar to the one provided by IPC::Shareable. Only hashes can be tied at this time. The hashes can be of any complexity allowed by the Storable module, however, there are some caveats covered in the REFERENCES section of man page. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tie-ShareLite/
