NAME

CHI::Driver::BerkeleyDB -- Using BerkeleyDB for cache

SYNOPSIS

    use CHI;

    my $cache = CHI->new(
        driver     => 'BerkeleyDB',
        root_dir   => '/path/to/cache/root'
    );

DESCRIPTION

This cache driver uses Berkeley DB files to store data. Each namespace is stored in its own db file.

By default, the driver configures the Berkeley DB environment to use the Concurrent Data Store (CDS), making it safe for multiple processes to read and write the cache without explicit locking.

CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

root_dir

Path to the directory that will contain the Berkeley DB environment, also known as the "Home".

db_class

BerkeleyDB class, defaults to BerkeleyDB::Hash.

env

Use this Berkeley DB environment instead of creating one.

db

Use this Berkeley DB object instead of creating one.
