        This is the name of elemenet that you want get from the shared
        namespace. It can be any string that perl support for hash's key.

    *   "wait" optional

        Defined the locking status of the request. If you must get the
        value, and can't continue without it, set this argument to constant
        WAIT, unless you can set it to NOWAIT.

        If the key is locked when you are tring to get the value, NOWAIT
        return status FAILURE, and WAIT hangup until the value is unlocked.
        An alternative is to setup a WAIT timeout, see below.

        NOTE: you needs :wait tag import:

            use Apache::SharedMem qw(:wait)

        timeout (optional) integer:

        if WAIT is on, timeout setup the number of seconds to wait for a
        blocking lock, usefull for preventing dead locks.
