Sounds good. Here's a slight modification: perllib.db is a cache; lookups
take place as normal, but then any new information is written into the cache.
The cache is invalided every $configurable period.
Of course, we can do this with Perl 5, but it would be kludgy. (Remember
putting subrefs into @INC?)
