forks: shared variables between different applications or hosts

Hi,

as I remember in an older documentation of forks.pm there was mentioned 
that it would be possible to use shared variables between different 
machines or completely different applications on one machine.

Is this possible?


I'm in the planing state of an (forking) application, which gets some 
commands from another application and it might be very easy to use such a 
feature instead of manually freeze/thaw the data and send it via manually 
opened sockets.


Or is this a bad idea?


Ciao
  Alvar
