NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::Cache - Alien::Build plugin to cache files downloaded from the internet
VERSION
version 0.01
SYNOPSIS
export ALIEN_BUILD_PRELOAD=Fetch::CacheDESCRIPTION
This is a Alien::Build plugin that caches the files that you download from the internet, so that you only have to download them once. Handy when doing development of an Alien distribution. Not a particularly smart cache. Doesn't ignore or expire old entries. You have to remove them yourself. They are stored in ~/.alienbuild/plugin_fetch_cache.
CAVEATS
As mentioned, not a sophisticated cache. Patches welcome to make it smarter. There are probably lots of corner cases that this plugin doesn't take into account, but it is probably good enough for most Alien usage.
