  Description     : Perl module providing hashes with keys that expire after a user-set period

Hashes tied to Tie::Hash::Expire behave like normal hashes in all respects
except that when a key is added or the value associated with a key is
changed, the current time is stored, and after 'expire_seconds' the key and
value are removed from the hash.

Resolutions finer than seconds are available if the module finds access to
Time::HiRes.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
