NAME

Cache::MemoryCache -- implements the Cache interface.

DESCRIPTION

The MemoryCache class implements the Cache interface. This cache stores data on a per-process basis. This is the fastest of the cache implementations, but data can not be shared between processes with the MemoryCache. However, the data will remain in the cache until cleared, it expires, or the process dies. The cache object simply going out of scope will not destroy the data.

SYNOPSIS

  use Cache::MemoryCache;
  my $cache = new Cache::MemoryCache( { 'namespace' => 'MyNamespace',
                                        'default_expires_in' => 600 } );
  See Cache::Cache for the usage synopsis.
