Cleaning up after Cache::Cache called from mod-perl

talexb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

A web application that I'm supporting uses Cache::Cache from a mod-perl module. Even though the cache is supposed to clean up after itself, that doesn't happen, presumably because mod-perl never exits.

The (brute force) solution that I've come up with is to use tmpwatch to age the cache. Is there a more elegant solution that anyone can suggest?

Maybe set up a `PerlLogHandler` which calls `$cache->Purge` to clean up expired items after the user's request has been serviced.	[reply] [d/l]
