Cache/FastMemoryCache version 0.01 ================================== Cache::FastMemoryCache is an in-memory cache, implemented as an extension to the excellent Cache::Cache suite. All cached items are stored per-process. The cache does not persist after the process dies. It is the fastest of all the Cache::* types because it does not perform deep copying of data. Here's how to decide whether to use MemoryCache or FastMemoryCache: If you just need a memory cache, then use FastMemoryCache. If you need the ability to swap-in other cache types (FileCache, etc.), then use MemoryCache, which is consistent with the rest of the cache types, due to deep copying. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Cache::Cache Cache::MemoryCache COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2003 John Millaway This Software may distribute under the terms of the MIT License, given below: Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
