Module submission IPC::Mmap::SimpleShare

The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

modid: IPC::Mmap::SimpleShare
DSLIP: adpOp
description: Share structures using anonymous mmap
userid: ADUITSIS (Αθανάσιος Δου�τσης)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
will possibly propose to newsgroup comp.lang.perl.modules

similar:
IPC::Mmap

rationale:

Since this module heavily relies on IPC::Mmap, it seemed
appropriate to name it under that. Please note that there is not
inheritance involved, just one module uses the other.

I just made up the word ShareSimple, wanting to stress that we are
aiming for simplicity.

As for uniqueness, as far as I can tell, there are excellent
choices already at CPAN when it comes to IPC, but I needed something
that does not map to a regular file (eg. I really mmap to /dev/zero)
and that does present a minimal interface, so that it can be used
immediately.

Lastly, as for listing in the list, I thought that someone else
besides me might find the module useful some day.
