| 2 | Name: Memoize | |
| 3 | What: Transparently speed up functions by caching return values. | |

| 9 | How to build me: | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | perl Makefile.PL | |
| 12 | make | |
| 13 | make test | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | There's a very small chance that the tests in speed.t and | |
| 16 | expire_module_t.t might fail because of clock skew or bizarre system | |
| 17 | load conditions. If the tests there fail, rerun them and see if the | |
| 18 | problem persists. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | If the tests work, | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | make install | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | If not, please send me a report that mentions which tests failed. | |

| 35 | ** The TIE option is now strongly deprecated. It will be ** | |
| 36 | ** permanently removed in the NEXT release of Memoize. ** | |
| 37 | ** Please convert all extant software to use HASH instead. ** | |

43 | I'm sorry about this. I hate making incompatible changes. But as of |
| 44 | v0.65, Memoize is included in the Perl core. It is about to become | |
| 45 | much more difficult to make incompatible interface changes; if I don't | |
| 46 | get rid of TIE now, I may not get another chance. | |

48 | TIE presented serious problems. First, it had a bizarre syntax. But |
| 49 | the big problem was that it was difficult and complicated for | |
| 50 | expiration manager authors to support; evern expiration manager had to | |
| 51 | duplicate the logic for handling TIE. HASH is much simpler to use, | |
| 52 | more powerful, and is trivial for expiration managers to support. | |
| a0cb3900 | 53 | |
| 899dc88a | 54 | Many long-awaited cleanups and bug fixes. |
| a0cb3900 | 55 | |
| 899dc88a | 56 | Memoize now works under threaded perl |
| a0cb3900 | 57 | |
| 899dc88a | 58 | Slow tests speeded up. More test file improvements. |

60 | Long-standing LIST_CACHE bug cleared up---it turns out that there |
| 61 | never was a bug. I put in tests for it anyway. | |
| a0cb3900 | 62 | |
| 899dc88a | 63 | Manual increased. |
