[Catalyst] Recommended caching back-ends

[Alexander Hartmaier]

Hi Toby,
note that you can still use Cache::FastMmap with Catalyst::Plugin::Cache
(Config::General config file section):

<Plugin::Cache>
<backend>
         class Cache::FastMmap
         expires 3600
         cache_size 8m
</backend>
</Plugin::Cache>

It took me also some time to find out which module is the 'old' and
which the 'new' one, docs need improvement for that.
I'm using it since years without a single segfault. You shouldn't use it
as a session *store* because it is a *cache* which means it can drop a
stored entry anytime if it runs out of memory for a new entry.

Cheers, Alex
