I know you already know all of this, but i replied to you because it seemed like the place. ;) I just had to take a stab at this: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::Simple;
use Cache::MemoryCache;

my $cache = Cache::MemoryCache->new({
   namespace          => 'MyNamespace',
   default_expires_in => 60,
});


for (1..3) {
   my $page = $cache->get('perlmonks');
   unless ($page) {
      warn "fetching from web\n";
      $page = get('http://perlmonks.org');
      $cache->set('perlmonks', $page, "1 minute" );
   } else {
      warn "fetching from cache\n";
   }
}

The for loop is just to actually show that subsequent fetches (after the first) come from the memory cache and not the web. Use Cache::FileCache if you want persistence past the life of script execution.

Honestly, as easy as this is ... it's still 'plumbing'. I would like to see a 'LWP::Cache' module as long as it is a transparent wrapper around LWP and Cache::Cache. Why not? ;)
