Traversing a Cache::FileCache

hambo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hiya Monks!

I am using Clinton DeWitt's Cache::FileCache
My problem is that I am putting a data structure in the cache and want to traverse it now to get it out. I don't know the keys that are being used, so I need to have some means of traversing the cache, obtaining the keys and from there obtaining the rest of the data structure associated with those keys.

Anyone have some bright idea of how to do this?
Tx,

Hambo

hambo, Seeing a snippet of what you mean by "putting a data structure in the cache" would make answering this a lot easier. If you are using a unique namespace for each data structure you should be able to use the get_keys( ) method. Beyond that it will be necessary to see what you are doing. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

The `get_keys()` method is documented to return all of the keys of the particular cache. Is that not working for you? -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
