NAME

Cache::DB_File - Memory cache which, when full, swaps to DB_File database.

SYNOPSIS

use Cache::DB_File ();

my $cache = Cache::DB_File->new(
  max_size => 50,         # Maximum elements in hash before swapping to disk.
  expire   => '1h 2m 1s', # Default expiry time for elements.
  db_mode	 => 06400,      # file mode for database.
  highlow  => '10m',      # Time before a rarely accessed hit element in memory
                          # is moved to disk, or frequently accessed element in
                          # disk is moved to memory.
);

$cache->store('key', 'data');
$cache->store('key2', 'this data expires in 10 seconds', '10seconds');
my $in_cache = $cache->fetch('key');

$cache->sync(); # sync to disk.

$cache->close(); # NOTE: will also write elements in memory to disk.
