Bug #16762 for Cache-FastMmap: Can't store non reference data in cache

Subject:

Can't store non reference data in cache

I used Cache::FastMmap to store integer values in the cache, and it complained that it can only store references. For example: use Cache::FastMmap; my $c = Cache::FastMmap->new; $c->set( bar => 1); yields: not a reference at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Cache/FastMmap.pm line 570 My ugly workaround is to store $c->set( bar => { value => 1 } ); but this reduces the readability of the code by a lot.

I'd like to clarify that i'm not asking for Storable to be fixed, but rather for a workaround on behalf of Cache::FastMmap to be added, like $thing = Cache::FastMmap::RefButValue->new($thing) if !ref($thing); and then on load: $thing = $thing->value if (ref $thing eq "Cache::FastMmap::RefButValue");

You can use the "raw_values => 1" parameter when you instantiate the cache to store non-reference data. My plan is to change this so that when raw_values => 0 (the default), you can store any type of data. Rob

This was fixed in 1.13. When you use "raw_values => 0", you can store scalars or references in the cache correctly.
