Cache:...heSizer(3pm)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Cache::CacheSizer(3pm) page — it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the component object that handles cache size vibes. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Cache::CacheSizer — component object for managing the size of caches. no cap, that's the whole name. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The CacheSizer class is used internally in SizeAware caches such as SizeAwareFileCache to encapsulate the logic of limiting cache size. it's giving internal helper energy, but make it size-control. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Cache::CacheSizer;

my $sizer = new Cache::CacheSizer( $cache, $max_size );

$sizer->limit_size( $new_size );

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

here's the whole method roster, and yes we're keeping every single one.

• new( $cache, $max_size ) — Construct a new Cache::CacheSizer object for the cache $cache with a maximum size of $max_size. it's the birth of your sizer, periodt. 👑
• update_access_time( $key ) — Inform the cache that the object specified by $key has been accessed. basically telling the cache "bestie was here" so it knows what's fresh. ✨
• limit_size( $new_size ) — Use the sizing algorithms to get the cache down under $new_size if possible. note the "if possible" — it's not out here making promises it can't keep. 😭

---

🦋 PROPERTIES 🦋

• get_max_size — The desired size limit for the cache under control. that's the goal number, the ceiling, the main character limit. 👑
