use Cache::FileCache ();

my $client = WebService::Cmis::getClient(
    url => "http://cmis.alfresco.com/service/cmis",
    user => "admin",
    password => "admin",
    cache => new Cache::FileCache({
      cache_root => "/tmp/cmis_client"
    }
  )
);

my $repo = $client->getRepository;

Parent class: REST::Client
