Caching a hash - am I missing something?
Hi, This might be a little off topic, I hope it's OK to post. I'm not positive if mod_perl matters or not because it's a little confusing to me. I've taken over some pretty old code that I'm updating and making mp2 content handlers out of. The main script is a standard cgi script start.cgi there is nothing special in the apache conf for it. Directory /xxx/ SetHandler perl-script PerlFixupHandler My::Fixup PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::PerlRun PerlOptions +ParseHeaders DirectoryIndex start.cgi Options +ExecCGI +Indexes allow from all /Directory start.cgi calls a custom module (use CustomModule;) which exports a bunch of subs, for example foobar and all over the place in the subs that are exported from CustomModule I see code like sub foobar { my $key = @_; if ($cache{$key}) { return $cache{$key}; } else { my $do_some_query = ; $cache{$key} = $do_some_query_results return $cache{$key}; } } My question is isn't the else in foobar always going to be true anyplace where start.cgi is calling foobar('somekey')?? I don't understand how %cache could already be populate from a previous browser request or something? I'm I just missing something stupid? FYI this was all running before on a version of Debian with old apache and old mod_perl (early 1.99 and 2.0.x). I've updated mod_perl to 2.0.2 and apache to 2.2 and everything still works. TIA!! -Chris

I don't understand how %cache could already be populate from a previous browser request or something? I'm I just missing something stupid? %cache is defined outside the scope of the sub so it will persist for the lifetime of the apache server. The very first time foobar('somekey') is called it will do the query lookup, the next time it will return from cache.
