NAME `IO::Async::Resolver::StupidCache' - a trivial caching layer around an `IO::Async::Resolver' SYNOPSIS use IO::Async::Loop 0.62; use IO::Async::Resolver::StupidCache; my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new; # Wrap the existing resolver in a cache $loop->set_resolver( IO::Async::Resolver::StupidCache->new( source => $loop->resolver ) ); # $loop->resolve requests will now be cached DESCRIPTION This object class provides a wrapper around another IO::Async::Resolver instance, which applies a simple caching layer to avoid making identical lookups. This can be useful, for example, when performing a large number of HTTP requests to the same host or a small set of hosts, or other cases where it is expected that the same few resolver queries will be made over and over. This is called a "stupid" cache because it is made without awareness of TTL values or other cache-relevant information that may be provided by DNS or other resolve methods. As such, it should not be relied upon to give always-accurate answers. PARAMETERS The following named parameters may be passed to `new' or `configure': source => IO::Async::Resolver Optional. The source of the cache data. If not supplied, a new `IO::Async::Resolver' instance will be constructed. ttl => INT Optional. Time-to-live of cache entries in seconds. If not supplied a default of 5 minutes will apply. max_size => INT Optional. Maximum number of entries to keep in the cache. Entries will be evicted at random over this limit. If not supplied a default of 1000 entries will apply. METHODS $resolver = $cache->source Returns the source resolver $cache->resolve( %args ) ==> ( @result ) $cache->getaddrinfo( %args ) ==> ( @addrs ) $cache->getnameinfo( %args ) ==> ( $host, $service ) These methods perform identically to the base `IO::Async::Resolver' class, except that the results are cached.
