DESCRIPTION
This module extends the CAM::Template search-and-replace API with
support for caching the resulting filled text in a database. This
relies on the exitence of a DBI-friendly database, but does have a
pair of convenience functions to help with the creation and support of
the cache table in that database.
This module is useful for creating dynamic documents that are
resource-expensive but do not change too often, like the front page of
a news site. It is also useful for a collection of dynamic documents
that are easier to generate all at once than individually, like
multi-page results of a complex search.
Much to my surprise, I did not find anything in CPAN that does quite
what this module does, even after looking at Cache::Cache and DBIx::*.
This module most closely resembles some combination of HTML::Template
with Cache::Cache via DBI.
