# NAME

Class::Simple::Cached - cache messages to an object

# VERSION

Version 0.01

# SYNOPSIS

A sub-class of [Class::Simple](https://metacpan.org/pod/Class::Simple) which caches calls to read
the status of an object that are otherwise expensive.

It is up to the caller to maintain the cache if the object comes out of sync with the cache,
for example by changing its state.

# SUBROUTINES/METHODS

## new

Creates a Class::Simple::Cached object.

It takes one manadatory parameter: cache,
which is an object which understands get() and set() calls,
such as an [CHI](https://metacpan.org/pod/CHI) object.

It takes one optional argument: super,
which is an object which is taken to be the object to be cached.
If not given, an object of the class [Class::Simple](https://metacpan.org/pod/Class::Simple) is instantiated
and that is used.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to `bug-class-simple-cached at rt.cpan.org`,
or through the web interface at
[http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Class-Simple-Cached](http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Class-Simple-Cached).
I will be notified, and then you'll
automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

params() returns a ref which means that calling routines can change the hash
for other routines.
Take a local copy before making amendments to the table if you don't want unexpected
things to happen.
