NAME

       CHI::Driver::Memory - In-process memory based cache

VERSION

       version 0.58

SYNOPSIS

           use CHI;

           my $hash = {};
           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'Memory', datastore => $hash );

           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'Memory', global => 1 );

DESCRIPTION

       This cache driver stores data on a per-process basis.  This is the fastest of the cache
       implementations, but data can not be shared between processes.  Data will remain in the
       cache until cleared, expired, or the process dies.

       To maintain the same semantics as other caches, references to data structures are deep-
       copied on set and get. Thus, modifications to the original data structure will not affect
       the data structure stored in the cache, and vice versa. See CHI::Driver::RawMemory for a
       faster memory cache that sacrifices this behavior.

CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

       When using this driver, the following options can be passed to CHI->new() in addition to
       the CHI. One of datastore or global must be specified, or else a warning (possibly an
       error eventually) will be thrown.

       datastore [HASHREF]
           A reference to a hash to be used for storage. Within the hash, each namespace is used
           as a key to a second-level hash.  This hash may be passed to multiple
           CHI::Driver::Memory constructors.

       global [BOOL]
           Use a standard global datastore. Multiple caches created with this flag will see the
           same data. Before 0.21, this was the default behavior; now it must be specified
           explicitly (to avoid accidentally sharing the same datastore in unrelated code).

DISCARD POLICY

       For size aware caches, this driver implements an 'LRU' policy, which discards the least
       recently used items first. This is the default policy.
