Hey all,
I noticed today that Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::FastMmap has been
DEPRECATED for some now. (With dire warnings about it segfaulting or
discarding data randomly)

I just wondered what the recommended caching backend is now, to use
with Catalyst::Plugin::Cache.

(In my case, cached data doesn't need to be consistent between app
servers.. it's more just for performance so simple local-disk is fine
for caching, rather than memcached or database based solutions.)

Cheers,
Toby

    Is there a Plugin::CHI or a CHI driver for Plugin::Cache anywhere?

    CHI works fine with C::P::Cache out of the box, nothing extra required.

    Just specify class => 'CHI' in the backend config and pass CHI configuration
    as documented.

    Would be cool if there was an example of using CHI in the Synopsis of the C::P::Cache docs. I'm not familiar with submitting Catalyst changes but maybe someone who is can stick this in?

    Oh! Right.
    Thanks.

    Out of interest, how was I supposed to know I could do that?

    I thought I needed to pick modules which had existing
    catalyst::plugin::cache::store::X modules. (where X is the backend
    name)

    cheers,
    Toby

    Can you put that to the RT queue for Catalyst::Plugin::Cache and/or Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook please, ideally with a patch please.

    The docs for Catalyst::Plugin::Cache are _rubbish_.

    Patches (and/or) new maintainer would be VERY welcome..

    I don't use it, so I've maintained it when people have handed me
    patches, but the docs (at least) could use some serious love!

    Cheers

    Hi Toby,
    note that you can still use Cache::FastMmap with Catalyst::Plugin::Cache
    (Config::General config file section):

    <Plugin::Cache>
    <backend>
    class Cache::FastMmap
    expires 3600
    cache_size 8m
    </backend>
    </Plugin::Cache>

    It took me also some time to find out which module is the 'old' and
    which the 'new' one, docs need improvement for that.
    I'm using it since years without a single segfault. You shouldn't use it
    as a session *store* because it is a *cache* which means it can drop a
    stored entry anytime if it runs out of memory for a new entry.

    Cheers, Alex
