"Fast solutions will terminate comparing as soon as a difference has been found." - good point. Hard to say what the common case will be.

If you were going to use Data::Dumper or YAML, why wouldn't you use Storable - isn't that generally the fastest serializer?

This is for CHI (http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/CHI). There are instances when you want to grab a cache object for a particular namespace "from the ether", and have it automatically return the same object if it was already requested. Think of DBI->connect_cached.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
