NAME

Sub::Memoized - trait for memoizing calls to subroutines

SYNOPSIS

use Sub::Memoized;

sub a($a,$b) is memoized {
  # do some expensive calculation
}

sub b($a, $b) is memoized( my %cache ) {
  # do some expensive calculation with direct access to cache
}

use Hash::LRU;
sub c($a, $b) is memoized( my %cache is LRU( elements => 2048 ) ) {
  # do some expensive calculation, keep last 2048 results returned
}

DESCRIPTION

Sub::Memoized provides a is memoized trait on Subroutines as an easy way to cache calculations made by that subroutine (assuming a given set of input parameters will always produce the same result).

Optionally, you can specify a hash that will serve as the cache. This allows later access to the generated results. Or you can specify a specially crafted hash, such as one made with Hash::LRU.

Please note that if you do not use a store that is thread-safe, the memoization will not be thread-safe either. This is the default.
