.IX Title "Tie::Memoize 3"
.TH Tie::Memoize 3 "2001-09-21" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide"
Tie::Memoize \- add data to hash when needed
\& tie %hash, 'Tie::Memoize',
\& \e&fetch, # The rest is optional
\& {%ini_value}, {%ini_existence};
This package allows a tied hash to autoload its values on the first access,
and to use the cached value on the following accesses.
Only read-accesses (via fetching the value or \f(CW\*(C`exists\*(C'\fR) result in calls to
the functions; the modify-accesses are performed as on a normal hash.
The required arguments during \f(CW\*(C`tie\*(C'\fR are the hash, the package, and
the reference to the \f(CW\*(C`FETCH\*(C'\fRing function. The optional arguments are
an arbitrary scalar \f(CW$data\fR, the reference to the \f(CW\*(C`EXISTS\*(C'\fR function,
and initial values of the hash and of the existence cache.
Both the \f(CW\*(C`FETCH\*(C'\fRing function and the \f(CW\*(C`EXISTS\*(C'\fR functions have the
same signature: the arguments are \f(CW\*(C`$key, $data\*(C'\fR; \f(CW$data\fR is the same
value as given as argument during \fItie()\fRing. Both functions should
return an empty list if the value does not exist. If \f(CW\*(C`EXISTS\*(C'\fR
function is different from the \f(CW\*(C`FETCH\*(C'\fRing function, it should return
a \s-1TRUE\s0 value on success. The \f(CW\*(C`FETCH\*(C'\fRing function should return the
intended value if the key is valid.
.SH "Inheriting from \fBTie::Memoize\fP"
.IX Header "Inheriting from Tie::Memoize"
The structure of the \fItied()\fR data is an array reference with elements
\& 0: cache of known values
\& 1: cache of known existence of keys
The rest is for internal usage of this package. In particular, if
\&\s-1TIEHASH\s0 is overwritten, it should call \s-1SUPER::TIEHASH\s0.
\& my ($key, $dir) = shift;
\& open my $h, '<', "$dir/$key" or return;
\& local $/; <$h> # slurp it all
\& sub exists { my ($key, $dir) = shift; return -f "$dir/$key" }
\& tie %hash, 'Tie::Memoize', \e&slurp, $directory, \e&exists,
\& { fake_file1 => $content1, fake_file2 => $content2 },
\& { pretend_does_not_exists => 0, known_to_exist => 1 };
This example treats the slightly modified contents of \f(CW$directory\fR as a
hash. The modifications are that the keys \fIfake_file1\fR and
\&\fIfake_file2\fR fetch values \f(CW$content1\fR and \f(CW$content2\fR, and
\&\fIpretend_does_not_exists\fR will never be accessed. Additionally, the
existence of \fIknown_to_exist\fR is never checked (so if it does not
exists when its content is needed, the user of \f(CW%hash\fR may be confused).
\&\s-1FIRSTKEY\s0 and \s-1NEXTKEY\s0 methods go through the keys which were already read,
not all the possible keys of the hash.
