52 =head1 NAME
54 Git::SVN::Memoize::YAML - store Memoized data in YAML format
56 =head1 SYNOPSIS
58 use Memoize;
59 use Git::SVN::Memoize::YAML;
61 tie my %cache => 'Git::SVN::Memoize::YAML', $filename;
62 memoize('slow_function', SCALAR_CACHE => [HASH => \%cache]);
63 slow_function(arguments);
65 =head1 DESCRIPTION
67 This module provides a class that can be used to tie a hash to a
68 YAML file. The file is read when the hash is initialized and
69 rewritten when the hash is destroyed.
71 The intent is to allow L<Memoize> to back its cache with a file in
72 YAML format, just like L<Memoize::Storable> allows L<Memoize> to
73 back its cache with a file in Storable format. Unlike the Storable
74 format, the YAML format is platform-independent and fairly stable.
76 Carps on error.
78 =head1 DIAGNOSTICS
80 See L<YAML::Any>.
82 =head1 DEPENDENCIES
84 L<YAML::Any> from CPAN.
86 =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
88 None reported.
90 =head1 BUGS
92 The entire cache is read into a Perl hash when loading the file,
93 so this is not very scalable.
