The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.
Feel free to tackle any of these or any other problems you find.  All
I ask is that you send me your changes so that they can be
incorporated into a common codebase for everyone to benefit from
(also, so you can get credit for your work!).

- rewriting the core of Shareable in C to gain speed and memory
efficiency.  (Update as of January, 1998: I am presently working on
this.  If anybody else has made progress in this area, please let me
know so our efforts can be coordinated.) (Update as of March, 2000: I
quickly ran out of tuits to complete the rewrite in C.  Maybe some
other time)

- perhaps add news ways to share data in addition to shared memory so
that the module becomes portable

- have Shareable print proper error messages when system calls fail

- really blue sky: could the module overload some operators so that
their use will automatically invoke locking and unlocking of a tie()d
variable?
