+The SysV-IPC contains three packages
+
+ IPC::Semaphore
+ - Provides an object interface to using SysV IPC semaphores
+
+ IPC::Msg
+ - Provides an object interface to using SysV IPC messages
+
+ IPC::SysV
+ - Provides the constants required to use the system SysV IPC calls.
+
+Currently there is not object support for SysV shared memory, but
+SysV::SharedMem is a project for the future.
+
+Share and enjoy!
