I'm getting error messages when trying to create or clear semaphores in perl on linux.

Perl, semaphores, linux, problems [mi]
When creating a new semaphore I'm getting: No space left on device.
Also, when trying to create/clear an existing new semaphore I get File exists.
Both result in errors.
This leads me to believe that a file somewhere maintains the semaphore count, but for the life of me I can't find where this files exist in any documentation. Any help?

Yeah, being out of semaphores gets you an ENOSPC even though it has nothing to do with devices. One of those little oddities, see man semget for more info.
Neustile: A nice illustration of the fact that one of the more than one way to do it's in perl is to not actually use perl at all. *grin*
