friends,

I have a model which talks to a non-database source of data in my catalyst application. It is more or less a manual model which simply extends Catalyst::Model.

I would like to cache via Catalysts Cache plugin's, to hold various data as makes sense to me

Having loaded a cache plugin, the 'cache' method is available on the context object i.e. $c - however the $self object made available to the model's function doesnt seem to contain any methods for accessing the cache.

Having read through the relevant pod at http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Catalyst-Plugin-Cache-0.12/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Cache.pm it explains the controller usage, but doesnt mention if models can also use the cache

The DBIc model makes use of cache plugins, but it's example has proved to be unhelpful

Can someone lend me their insight?
