NAME

CHI::Driver::SharedMem - Cache data in shared memory

VERSION

Version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

CHI driver which stores data in shared memory objects for persistently over processes. Size is an optional parameter containing the size of the shared memory area, in bytes. Shmkey is a mandatory parameter containing the IPC key for the shared memory area. See IPC::SharedMem for more information.

    use CHI;
    my $cache = CHI->new(
    	driver => 'SharedMem',
	size => 8 * 1024,
	shmkey => 12344321,	# Choose something unique
    );
    # ...

The shared memory area is stored thus:

Number of bytes in the cache [ 4 bytes ]
'cache' => {
	'namespace1' => {
		'key1' => 'value1',
		'key2' -> 'value2',
		...
	}
	'namespace2' => {
		'key1' => 'value3',
		'key3' => 'value2',
		...
	}
	...
}
