CHI
(0.56)
The DBI of caching. Stop reinventing your caching framework and just use this.
UPDATE 2013-01-16: unfortunately, the use of Moose reduces the usefulness of CHI for command-line scripts (0.2s/146 files/53k lines startup overhead just to initialize a File cache). So 4 stars instead of 5. Let's hope the author migrates to Moo someday.

Great module that provide modern and pluggable caching. If you want to use a CHI in a Moose attribute, beware that CHI->new doesn't return a CHI, but a CHI::Driver.

A couple of "documented" features are not actually documented, even though they are mentioned. They don't seem to be in the source code either.

This is the most comprehensive Perl caching module available. With this module you get a very rich interface and you are always prepared for backend changes. I just dumped my custom caching module running only on Memcached in favor of CHI. I had some issues with Memcached on Windows but now with CHI I can use file backend on Windows and Memcached backend on Linux. And in the future I might like to switch to DBI backend on both platforms. With CHI these backend changes are trivial and can be completed within a minute!

Excellent module, does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it really well. It took me no time at all to configure and implement a nicely namespaced cache. And when I realized that the Memcached driver didn't support the clear method, it only took about 2 minutes two switch over to the DBI driver instead. Great job Jonathan!
