NAME
Cache::FileCache -- implements the Cache interface.
DESCRIPTION
The FileCache class implements the Cache interface. This cache stores
data in the filesystem so that it can be shared between processes.
SYNOPSIS
use Cache::FileCache;
my $cache = new Cache::FileCache( { 'namespace' => 'MyNamespace',
'default_expires_in' => 600 } );
See Cache::Cache for the usage synopsis.
METHODS
See Cache::Cache for the API documentation.
Clear( [$cache_root] )
See Cache::Cache, with the optional *$cache_root* parameter.
Purge( [$cache_root] )
See Cache::Cache, with the optional *$cache_root* parameter.
Size( [$cache_root] )
See Cache::Cache, with the optional *$cache_root* parameter.
OPTIONS
See Cache::Cache for standard options. Additionally, options are set by
passing in a reference to a hash containing any of the following keys:
*cache_root*
The location in the filesystem that will hold the root of the cache.
Defaults to the 'FileCache' under the OS default temp directory (
often '/tmp' on UNIXes ) unless explicitly set.
*cache_depth*
The number of subdirectories deep to cache object item. This should
be large enough that no cache directory has more than a few hundred
objects. Defaults to 3 unless explicitly set.
*directory_umask*
The directories in the cache on the filesystem should be globally
writable to allow for multiple users. While this is a potential
security concern, the actual cache entries are written with the
user's umask, thus reducing the risk of cache poisoning. If you
desire it to only be user writable, set the 'directory_umask' option
to '077' or similar. Defaults to '000' unless explicitly set.
