NAME

DBIx::Class::ObjectCache - Cache rows by primary key (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS

# in your class definition
use Cache::FastMmap;
__PACKAGE__->cache(Cache::FastMmap->new);

DESCRIPTION

This class implements a simple object cache. It should be loaded before most (all?) other DBIx::Class components. Note that, in its current state, this code is rather experimental. The only time the cache is made use of is on calls to $obj->find. This can still result in a significant savings, but more intelligent caching, e.g. of the resultset of a has_many call, is currently not possible. It is not difficult, however, to implement additional caching on top of this module.

The cache is stored in a package variable called cache. It can be set to any object that implements the required get, set, and remove methods.
