NAME

       Cache::CacheSizer -- component object for managing the size of caches

DESCRIPTION

       The CacheSizer class is used internally in SizeAware caches such as SizeAwareFileCache to
       encapsulate the logic of limiting cache size.

SYNOPSIS

         use Cache::CacheSizer;

         my $sizer = new Cache::CacheSizer( $cache, $max_size );

         $sizer->limit_size( $new_size );

METHODS

       new( $cache, $max_size )
           Construct a new Cache::CacheSizer object for the cache $cache with a maximum size of
           $max_size.

       update_access_time( $key )
           Inform the cache that the object specified by $key has been accessed.

       limit_size( $new_size )
           Use the sizing algorithms to get the cache down under $new_size if possible.

PROPERTIES

       get_max_size
           The desired size limit for the cache under control.
