Summary0007715: Add support for reading variables from the cache without unsetting a local variable.
DescriptionA need has been identified to read variables from the cache when they may be obscured by local scope variables.

It has been proposed that $CACHE{var} be implemented to allow the user to obtain values from the cache where they may be obscured by local variables (similar to $ENV{var} ).

The $CACHE{} syntax looks good to me:
