       Jifty::CAS::Blob - An object in Jifty's content-addressed store

SYNOPSIS

         my $blob = Jifty::CAS->retrieve('js', $key);
         my $content = $blob->content;
         my $meta = $blob->metadata;
         my $key = $blob->key;

DESCRIPTION

       Objects in the content-addressed store can have arbitrary metadata associated with them,
       in addition to storing their contents.

METHODS

   new HASHREF
       Takes a HASHREF, with possible keys "content" and "metadata", and creates a new object.
       Possible special keys in the metadata include:

       hash_with
           Provides the data to hash to generate the address.  If no "hash_with" is provided, the
           content itself is hashed.

   content
       Returns the content of the blob.

   metadata
       Returns a hashref of metadata.

   key
       Returns the key calculated for this content.
