A (not entirely serious) talk that I gave at the London Perl Mongers technical meeting in March 2018. It talks about how and why I build a web site listing the line of succession to the British throne back through history.
![has cache => (
is => 'ro',
isa => 'CHI::Driver::Memcached',
lazy_build => 1,
);
sub _build_cache {
return CHI->new(
driver => 'Memcached',
namespace => 'succession',
servers => [ 'localhost:11211' ],
debug => 0,
compress_threshold => 10_000,
);
