Has anyone used the Memoize module extensively in a mod_perl environment? I am thinking of using it to cache queries from the database, particularly for lookups (somthing like $obj->get_name_from_id()).
In many cases the data is static so I don't mind is staying over from one request to the next but I wanted to primarily use to limit the number of queries per http request. To keep the cache from growing (the website receives 20 hit/min on average w/ 20,000 users) I wanted to either implement a LRU/Expiration cache. The other alternative I was considering was to use a cleanup handler after every request.
I would like to know any experiences/thoughts anyone has had of using Memoize in a mod_perl environment.
Memoize should work just fine under mod_perl. If you need to reset the cache between requests you should call its flush_cache() function. refer to its manpage for more info.
