This really has nothing to do with CAPTCHA but

I'm using it at the moment to store large pages in a database front end that I maintain to cut down on the amount of selects that I do. It lets me store arbitrary information in a single place just by checking $cache_filecache->get() can get what I want, and if not, regenerating it.

Now, granted, this application is pretty small and hardly ever has any more then about ten people using it at the same time so I haven't had to worry about performance. There is Cache::Memcached that uses the same api in case you need the benefits of a memory based cache setup.

A huffy note from our hosting company about the amount of resources consumed by one of my cgi apps makes me think I should be using Cache::Cache or something similar. Only a couple of us here run the app in question, but I had it set to refresh every five minute.

The app basically runs a bunch of regular expressions on a big log file and prints out a summary of who's in the log, every time it's called. Few lines are added to the log between calls. Often, there is no change.

The dox for Cache::Cache assume that the reader has a clue about using caches in general. I don't. Can someone point me to a tutorial, book or cookbook chapter where I can get a clue without having to work too hard :-)

Thx.
