Cache::FileCache is disk-based, and it is the fastest of the Cache:: options for most data sets. There was a thread a little while back about data sharing that showed the top performers to be Cache::Mmap and IPC::MM. Cache::Cache and MLDBM::Sync should be more than fast enough for all but the most highly optimized systems. - Perrin
