🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
Create a new object	my $obj = new Cache::Object();	🐣 Constructs an empty data wrapper
Set the cache key	$obj->set_key($key)	🔑 Assigns the lookup key
Store data	$obj->set_data($data)	📦 Places a scalar or reference into the object
Set expiry time	$obj->set_expires_at($time)	⏳ Determines when the entry should expire
Record creation time	$obj->set_created_at($time)	🕒 Marks when the object was created
Get stored data	$data = $obj->get_data()	📤 Retrieves the stored data
Get expiration	$time = $obj->get_expires_at()	⏰ Checks when the entry expires

📝 DESCRIPTION

Object is used by classes implementing the Cache interface as an object oriented wrapper around the data. End users will not normally use Object directly, but it can be retrieved via the get_object method on the Cache::Cache interface.

📖 SYNOPSIS

use Cache::Object;

my $object = new Cache::Object( );

$object->set_key( $key );
$object->set_data( $data );
$object->set_expires_at( $expires_at );
$object->set_created_at( $created_at );

🔧 METHODS

🧱 new( )

Construct a new Cache::Object.

🏷️ PROPERTIES

Each property is accessed via get_name and set_name methods.

• accessed_at – 🕵️ The time at which the object was last accessed. Various cache implementations will use the accessed_at property to store information for LRU algorithms. There is no guarantee that all caches will update this field, however.
• created_at – 🛠️ The time at which the object was created.
• data – 📦 A scalar containing or a reference pointing to the data to be stored.
• expires_at – ⏳ The time at which the object should expire from the cache.
• key – 🔑 The key under which the object was stored.
• size – 📏 The size of the frozen version of this object.
