Cache:...leCache(3pm)

💖 Cache::SizeAwareFileCache 💖

okay bestie, so this is Cache::SizeAwareFileCache — a Perl module, manual section 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. and she extends Cache::FileCache. that's the whole vibe. let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Cache::SizeAwareFileCache — no cap, she extends Cache::FileCache. that's it, that's the name 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the way that SizeAwareFileCache works?? she's a file-system-based cache, but she's self-aware about her own size. like, literally. this class adds the ability to dynamically limit the size, in bytes, of a file system based cache. obsessed 😭

she also implements the SizeAwareCache interface, which means she brings the 'max_size' option and the 'limit_size( $size )' method to the party. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's how you summon her:

use Cache::SizeAwareFileCache;

my $cache =
  new Cache::SizeAwareFileCache( { 'namespace' => 'MyNamespace',
                                   'default_expires_in' => 600,
                                   'max_size' => 10000 } );

look at that constructor. she's got a 'namespace', a 'default_expires_in' of 600, and a 'max_size' of 10000. three little options and boom, you've got a size-aware cache. iconic ✨
