No, I have no idea. I only took over maintainership to add in
already-suggested patches that were being ignored, but which fixed bugs for
certain cases.
Did a dependent module change? Are you able to try installing
IPC::Shareable in, say, a fresh perlbrew environment, and then look at the
dependency chain that gets installed and see what changed recently?
Another thing I know can cause problems is if you store something with one
version of perl (and IPC::Shareable) and retrieve with another. For
example, on one system with perl 5.8.8 with Shareable $VERSION = 0.51; and
a perlbrewed 5.14.2 with Shareable 0.61:
[user_one@somehost ~]$ perl -v |grep ', v'
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux
[user_one@somehost ~]$ perl -MIPC::Shareable -MData::Dumper -e 'my %H ;
tie(%H, "IPC::Shareable", "www", {create => 1, mode => 0666,}); print
Dumper(\%H),$/'
$VAR1 = {
'slow_select' => 155
};
[user_two@somehost ~]$ perl -v |grep ', v'
This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for x86_64-linux
[user_two@somehost ~]$ perl -MIPC::Shareable -MData::Dumper -e 'my %H ;
tie(%H, "IPC::Shareable", "www", {create => 1, mode => 0666,}); print
Dumper(\%H),$/'
Could not create semaphore set: Invalid argument
at -e line 1.
It's probably highly unlikely that that's even related to what you're
seeing, but I saw that 'invalid argument' text in yours and I thought it
looked familiar so I dug out my docs on it.
