  Description     : memoization implementation backed by CHI

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)

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
