Memoize - Expiry plug-in for Memoize that adds LRU cache expiration
SYNOPSIS
use Memoize;
memoize('slow_function',
TIE => [Memoize::ExpireLRU,
CACHESIZE => n,
]);
Note that one need not "use" this module. It will be found by the Memoize module.
The argument to CACHESIZE must be an integer. Normally, this is all that is needed. Additional options are available:
TUNECACHESIZE => m,
INSTANCE => 'descriptive_name',
TIE => '[DB_File, $filename, O_RDWR | O_CREATE, 0666]'
DESCRIPTION
For the theory of Memoization, please see the Memoize module documentation. This module implements an expiry policy for Memoize that
follows LRU semantics, that is, the last n results, where n is specified as the argument to the "CACHESIZE" parameter, will be cached.
PERFORMANCE TUNING
It is often quite difficult to determine what size cache will give optimal results for a given function. To aid in determining this,
ExpireLRU includes cache tuning support. Enabling this causes a definite performance hit, but it is often useful before code is released to
production.
To enable cache tuning support, simply specify the optional "TUNECACHESIZE" parameter with a size greater than that of the "CACHESIZE"
parameter.
When the program exits, a set of statistics will be printed to stderr. If multiple routines have been memoized, separate sets of statistics
are printed for each routine. The default names are somewhat cryptic: this is the purpose of the "INSTANCE" parameter. The value of this
parameter will be used as the identifier within the statistics report.
DIAGNOSTIC METHODS
Two additional routines are available but not exported. Memoize::ExpireLRU::ShowStats returns a string identical to the statistics report
printed to STDERR at the end of the program if test caches have been enabled; Memoize::ExpireLRU::DumpCache takes the instance name of a
memoized function as a parameter, and returns a string describing the current state of that instance.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
Machine: MBP OSX 10.14.3, default bash terminal, calling '#!/usr/local/bin/dash'...
This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
