Cache::Memory(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Cache::Memory(3)NAMECache::Memory - Memory based implementation of the Cache interface
SYNOPSIS
use Cache::Memory;
my $cache = Cache::Memory->new( namespace => 'MyNamespace',
default_expires => '600 sec' );
See Cache for the usage synopsis.
DESCRIPTION
The Cache::Memory class implements the Cache interface. This cache
stores data on a per-process basis. This is the fastest of the cache
implementations, but is memory intensive and data can not be shared
between processes. It also does not persist after the process dies.
However data will remain in the cache until cleared or it expires. The
data will be shared between instances of the cache object, a cache
object going out of scope will not destroy the data.
CONSTRUCTOR
my $cache = Cache::Memory->new( %options )
The constructor takes cache properties as named arguments, for example:
my $cache = Cache::Memory->new( namespace => 'MyNamespace',
default_expires => '600 sec' );
See 'PROPERTIES' below and in the Cache documentation for a list of all
available properties that can be set.
METHODS
See 'Cache' for the API documentation.
PROPERTIESCache::Memory adds the property 'namespace', which allows you to
specify a different caching store area to use from the default. All
methods will work ONLY on the namespace specified.
my $ns = $c->namespace();
$c->set_namespace( $namespace );
For additional properties, see the 'Cache' documentation.
