Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libchi-memoize-perl on Ubuntu 18.04.

What is libchi-memoize-perl

libchi-memoize-perl is:

CHI::Memoize is an implementation of the memoization technique using CHI. Memoize caches the inputs and outputs of a function, if the function is called again with the same inputs, CHI::Memoize intervenes and provides the cached result. For slow functions, time is saved, at the expence of space.

CHI::Memoize provides the same facility as Memoize|Memoize, but backed by CHI|CHI. This means, among other things, that you can:

  • specify expiration times (expires_in) and conditions (expire_if)
  • memoize to different backends, e.g. File, Memcached, DBI, or to multilevel caches
  • handle arbitrarily complex function arguments (via CHI key serialization)
