Template::Plugin::Cache is great, but unfortunately it gives errors when the 
template contains UTF-8 chars which are not also ASCII chars (or if the 
template uses I18N and the translated string contain those special chars).

Perrin Harkins, the author of the module told me that the problem is the 
Cache module, and that the solution is to pass a CHI object instead of a 
Cache one.

Hope this helps.

But by the way, I've seen that there are no CHI plugins for Catalyst even 
though CHI seems to be an improved version of the Cache module. Is there a 
reason for this indiference for CHI? (some kind of incompatibility with 
Catalyst, or some hidden defects of that module...)
