πŸ’– Memoize::ExpireTest β€” bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so you're looking at Memoize::ExpireTest, a page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, section 3perl (that's the module docs section, iykyk). it's tiny. it's iconic. let's go πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

Memoize::ExpireTest β€” literally just a test for Memoize expiration semantics. that's the whole job. that's the assignment. πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, real talk: this module exists for testing expiration semantics and nothing else. it is not a very good example of how to write an expiration module β€” like, do not look at this and be like "yes, this is the blueprint." it is not the blueprint. 🫢

so if you are out here looking for an actual example to copy the vibe from, the author recommends you go peep:

  • the simple example in the Memoize::Expire documentation πŸ“–, or
  • the code for Memoize::Expire itself πŸ‘‘

and if you've got questions? they will be happy to answer them β€” just send them over to:

mjd-perl-memoize+@plover.com

yes, that's a real address. go ask your questions, bestie, the author literally invited you. πŸ“¬


πŸ’€ quick vibe check: this is a testing module, not a tutorial. don't build your expiration module off it, fr fr.

and that's the whole page, babe 🌈 β€” this was perl v5.36.0, dated 2026-09-29, and you just read Memoize::ExpireTest(3perl). no cap, you ate that. periodt. πŸŽ€βœ¨πŸ’œ
