NAME
File::Cache
DESCRIPTION
File::Cache implements an object store where data is persisted
across processes in the filesystem. It was written to compliment
IPC::Cache.
Where IPC::Cache is faster for small numbers of simple objects,
File::Cache tends toward being more performant when caching large
numbers of complex objects.
REQUIREMENTS
Storable (optional, if you have Data::Dumper)
Digest::MD5.
INSTALLATION
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
USAGE
see perldoc File::Cache
SEE ALSO
IPC::Cache
NOTES AND CAVEATS
Use of File::Cache is now discouraged in favor of the new
Cache::Cache project, also available on CPAN. Cache::Cache offers
all of the functionality of File::Cache, as well as integrating
the functionality of IPC::Cache and a number of new features. You
can view the Cache::Cache project page at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-cache/
Version 0.13 breaks old caches. You will want to remove them when
upgrading.
