IPC calls...

Has anyone actually ever used the IPC DXL. I'm pondering using IPC to pass/gather data to a mySQL db, and I'm wondering if it's going to be the most effective way. I have seen other people do it by dumping data to file then using system to call a program in PERL to actually access the mySQL.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the two methods.
