in thread what else from port ?

Windows supports a wealth of IPC mechanisms:

Clipboard: Win32::Clipboard
COM: Win32::OLE
Data Copy
DDE
File Mapping
Mailslots
(Named) Pipes: Win32::Pipe
RPC
Sockets: Built-in.

However, IFAIK, only a few of those are available from Perl. And some of those are via not well tested modules (eg. Win32::Pipe).

To decide which is appropriate for each particular application, you have to understand the pros & cons of each mechanism. To get advise, you need to supply specific details of each application.

You can start your investigations here.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
