in thread Saving big blessed hashes to disk

you said its a stand alone app, if it is your own writeen server daemon or any kind of daemonized app, it is easier to "get away" with your considered slow mysql than CGI/mod_perl rely on apache. sharing variables in perl ithreads is pretty easy, look for "threads", "Thread::shared" modules from cpan. remember variables in perl never get cleaned even after undef/delete, so, use hashes with care
