NAME

Cache::Repository::Filesys - Filesystem driver for Cache::Repository

SYNOPSIS

my $rep = Cache::Repository->new(
    style => 'Filesys',
    # options for the F::R driver
  );
$rep->add_files(tag => 'groupname',
                files => \@filenames,
                basedir => '/tmp',
                move => 1,
               );
$rep->add_filehandle(tag => 'anothergroup',
                     filename => 'blah',
                     filehandle => $fh,
                     mode => 0755);
$rep->set_meta(tag => 'groupname',
               meta => {
                   title => 'blah',
                   author => 'foo',
               });

$rep->retrieve(tag => 'groupname', dest => '/newdir');
my $data = $rep->get_meta(tag => 'groupname');

DESCRIPTION

Caching in a locally-mounted filesystem. Eventually, this will include NFS-level locking, but for now, this module assuming only a single process accessing the repository in write mode at a time.

FUNCTIONS

new

Cache::Repository::Filesys constructor.

my $r = Cache::Repository::Filesys->new(
                                        path => '/some/path/with/enough/space',
                                       );

or

my $r = Cache::Repository->new(
                               style => 'Filesys',
                               path => '/some/path/with/enough/space',
                              );
