NAME

MooX::Role::CachedURL - a role providing a locally cached copy of a remote file

SYNOPSIS

 package MyClass;
 use Moo;
 with 'MooX::Role::CachedURL';
 has '+url' => (default => sub { 'http://www.cpan.org/robots.txt' });
 
 sub my_method {
    my $self = shift;
    
    # $self->path has the path to the local copy of the file
 }

DESCRIPTION

This role represents a remote file that you want to cache locally, and then process. This is common functionality that I'm pulling out of my PAUSE::Users, PAUSE::Permissions and PAUSE::Packages modules.

PAUSE::Users provides a simple interface to the 00whois.xml file that is generated by PAUSE. It caches the file locally, then provides a mechanism for iterating over all users in the file.

If you look right now, you'll notice that none of those modules use this role yet; I'll be gradually refactoring them once this role is on CPAN.
