6 HTML::Mason::Cache::BaseCache - Base cache object
7
9 This is the base module for all cache implementations used in Mason.
10 It provides a few additional methods on top of "Cache::BaseCache" in
11 Dewitt Clinton's "Cache::Cache" package.
12
13 An object of this class is returned from $m->cache.
14
16 clear ()
17 Remove all values in the cache.
18
19 get (key, [%params])
20 Returns the value associated with key or undef if it is non-
21 existent or expired. This is extended with the following optional
22 name/value parameters:
23
24 busy_lock => duration
25 If the value has expired, set its expiration time to the
26 current time plus duration (instead of removing it from the
27 cache) before returning undef. This is used to prevent
28 multiple processes from recomputing the same expensive value
29 simultaneously. The duration may be of any form acceptable to
30 set.
31
32 expire_if => sub
33 If the value exists and has not expired, call sub with the
34 cache object as a single parameter. If sub returns a true
35 value, expire the value.
36
37 get_object (key)
38 Returns the underlying "Cache::Object" object associated with key.
39 The most useful methods on this object are
40
41 $co->get_created_at(); # when was object stored in cache
42 $co->get_accessed_at(); # when was object last accessed
43 $co->get_expires_at(); # when does object expire
44
45 expire (key)
46 Expires the value associated with key, if it exists. Differs from
47 remove only in that the cache object is left around, e.g. for
48 retrieval by get_object.
49
50 remove (key)
51 Removes the cache object associated with key, if it exists.
52
53 set (key, data, [duration])
54 Associates data with key in the cache. duration indicates the time
55 until the value should be erased. If duration is unspecified, the
56 value will never expire by time.
57
58 $expires_in may be a simple number of seconds, or a string of the
59 form "[number] [unit]", e.g., "10 minutes". The valid units are s,
60 second, seconds, sec, m, minute, minutes, min, h, hour, hours, d,
61 day, days, w, week, weeks, M, month, months, y, year, and years.
