I took a quick look at C::P::Cache and I don't think it is possible to  
use this module as the backend with adequate work.   
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon stores the text somewhere under its own  
package name in a hash.  To use a cache backend here would mean  
creating a module around L::M::L which alters "internal" data whereas  
this new module would depend on the current L::M::L module version.  I  
don't think this would be good.

So from my point of view the best way would be to reload the lexicon  
data once it has changed.  As this is not possible without manually  
restarting apache, this leads me to reloading the lexicon after the  
database contents has changed within each apache client on request  
start (before any lexicon text is requested).  I could initiate this  
within an auto sub in Root.pm, but this seems very ugly.  I guess a  
new plugin (like C::P::I18N::DBI::Reloader) would be good.  What do  
you think?

Thanks for your help,
   matt
