.IX Title "Cache::SizeAwareCache 3"
.TH Cache::SizeAwareCache 3 "2009-02-28" "perl v5.8.8" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
Cache::SizeAwareCache \-\- extends the Cache interface.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The SizeAwareCache interface is implemented by classes that support
all of the Cache::Cache interface in addition to the limit_size and
max_size features of a size aware cache.
.PP
The default cache size limiting algorithm works by removing cache
objects in the following order until the desired limit is reached:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  1) objects that have expired
\&  2) objects that are least recently accessed
\&  3) objects that that expire next
.Ve
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&  use Cache::SizeAwareCache;
\&  use vars qw( @ISA );
.Ve

.Vb 1
\&  @ISA = qw( Cache::SizeAwareCache );
.Ve
.SH "CONSTANTS"
.IX Header "CONSTANTS"
Please see Cache::Cache for standard constants
.IP "\fI$NO_MAX_SIZE\fR" 4
.IX Item "$NO_MAX_SIZE"
The cache has no size restrictions
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
Please see Cache::Cache for the standard methods
.ie n .IP "\fBlimit_size( \fB$new_size\fB )\fR" 4
.el .IP "\fBlimit_size( \f(CB$new_size\fB )\fR" 4
.IX Item "limit_size( $new_size )"
Attempt to resize the cache such that the total disk usage is under
the \fI$new_size\fR parameter.  \fI$new_size\fR represents t size (in bytes)
that the cache should be limited to.  Note that this is only a one
time adjustment.  To maintain the cache size, consider using the
\&\fImax_size\fR option, although it is considered very expensive, and can
often be better achieved by peridocally calling \fIlimit_size\fR.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
Please see Cache::Cache for the standard options
.IP "\fImax_size\fR" 4
.IX Item "max_size"
Sets the max_size property (size in bytes), which is described in
detail below.  Defaults to \fI$NO_MAX_SIZE\fR.
.SH "PROPERTIES"
.IX Header "PROPERTIES"
Please see Cache::Cache for standard properties
.IP "\fB(get|set)_max_size\fR" 4
.IX Item "(get|set)_max_size"
If this property is set, then the cache will try not to exceed the max
size value (in bytes) specified.  \s-1NOTE:\s0 This causes the size of the
cache to be checked on every set, and can be considered *very*
expensive in some implementations.  A good alternative approach is
leave max_size as \f(CW$NO_MAX_SIZE\fR and to periodically limit the size of
the cache by calling the limit_size( \f(CW$size\fR ) method.
