in thread Memoize::Expire oddity

Thanks for this example. With a little further modification it demonstrates that Memoize::Expire won't work for functions returning lists
Right, which is why when I needed such abilities I wrote my own expiring backend to Memoize. If you want to do the same, start with the INTERFACE section of the Memoize::Expire POD.

For the record, I also had to implement FIRSTKEY and NEXTKEY methods for things to work correctly.

Cheers.

    Ah, well... my little example above lets you use any existing tied hash with Memoize in list context, and I'm using it successfully with real code backed by Memoize::Expire in once case and and AnyDBM_File in another. Just a few lines, nothing reimplemented!
