using Perl Mod to populate Memcached on the fly

[Atif Ghaffar]

Rhoden,
Yes it can be done and i also thought about doing this but eventually did
not wanted perl-enabled nginx as the main proxy server.

If you want an example, I can post it on the wiki.
It will be similar to this one.

Basically.
Check if the file exists
If yes, return file
if not, call a backend url
return response

best regards
