NAME

OpenInteract2::Cache::File -- Implement caching in the filesystem

DESCRIPTION

Subclass of OpenInteract2::Cache that uses the filesystem to cache objects.

METHODS

initialize( \%config )

Creates a new Cache::FileCache object for later use, initializing it with the values from \%config -- this corresponds to the data under cache in your server configuration. Here's what you can set:

• directory (required)

  Root directory of cache. Must be writable by the user who owns the server process.

• max_size (optional)

  Max size of the cache, in bytes. (Default: 2000000 about 10MB)

• default_expire (optional)

  Number of seconds the cached item should be valid. (Default: 86400, or one day)

• directory_depth (optional)

  If you cache a lot of content set this to '2' or '3' so the cache doesn't create too many files in a single directory, which can foul up some filesystems.
