NAME

Autocache::Store - Cached data storage base class.

DESCRIPTION

This is a base class for objects that provide storage for Autocache record objects.

All the methods defined in this class are no-ops that conform to the below documentation.

See also Autocache::Record.

METHODS

The following methods should be overridden by concrete implementations.

Most sub-classes will over-ride all of them.

If a sub-class does over-ride a particular method it must adhere to the behaviour described below.

In all cases $key is a string that uniquely identifies the cache record and $record is an instance of Autocache::Record.

get

    $record = $store->get( $key );

Find a record identifed by the supplied key and return it, or undef if the store does not contain a record related to the supplied key.

set

    $record = $store->set( $key, $record );

Store the record under the supplied key and return the record.

delete

    $record = $store->delete( $key );

Find a record identifed by the supplied key, delete it from the store and return it, or undef.

clear

    $store->clear();

Clear all records from this store.
