Attribute::Memoize - Attribute interface to Memoize.pm

NAME

Attribute::Memoize - Attribute interface to Memoize.pm

SYNOPSIS

  use Attribute::Memoize;
  sub fib :Memoize {
          my $n = shift;
          return $n if $n < 2;
          fib($n-1) + fib($n-2);
  }


  $|++;
  print fib($_),"\n" for 1..50;

DESCRIPTION

This module makes it slightly easier (and modern) to memoize a function by providing an attribute, :Memoize that makes it unnecessary for you to explicitly call Memoize::memoize(). Options can be passed via the attribute per usual (see the Attribute::Handlers manpage for details, and the Memoize manpage for information on memoizing options):

  sub f :Memoize(NORMALIZER => 'main::normalize_f') {
        ...
  }

However, since the call to memoize() is now done in a different package, it is necessary to include the package name in any function names passed as options to the attribute, as shown above.
