Cache::Object(3pm)             User Contributed Perl Documentation             Cache::Object(3pm)



NAME
       Cache::Object -- the data stored in a Cache.

DESCRIPTION
       Object is used by classes implementing the Cache interface as an object oriented wrapper
       around the data.  End users will not normally use Object directly, but it can be retrieved
       via the get_object method on the Cache::Cache interface.

SYNOPSIS
        use Cache::Object;

        my $object = new Cache::Object( );

        $object->set_key( $key );
        $object->set_data( $data );
        $object->set_expires_at( $expires_at );
        $object->set_created_at( $created_at );

METHODS
       new(  )
           Construct a new Cache::Object.

PROPERTIES
       (get|set)_accessed_at
           The time at which the object was last accessed.  Various cache implementations will
           use the accessed_at property to store information for LRU algorithms.  There is no
           guarentee that all caches will update this field, however.

       (get|set)_created_at
           The time at which the object was created.

       (get|set)_data
           A scalar containing or a reference pointing to the data to be stored.

       (get|set)_expires_at
           The time at which the object should expire from the cache.

       (get|set)_key
           The key under which the object was stored.

       (get|set)_size
           The size of the frozen version of this object
