[Gllug] Sharing hash

[Ian Norton]

yes, the hash is created before i fork, but i want the changes in the hash made
by the children to be retained when the child dies,

Just in case you wonder what i'm up to, I am writing a database server in perl,
(very simple one with a limited yet useful command system)

http://gwi.darkspace.org.uk

It is called 'NSQL' (not sql)
