## NAME

Cache::SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache -- extends Cache::SizeAwareMemoryCache

## DESCRIPTION

The SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache class adds the ability to dynamically limit the size (in bytes) of a shared memory based cache.  This class also implements the SizeAwareCache interface, providing the 'max\_size' option and the 'limit\_size( `$size` )' method.

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Cache::SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache;
  my $cache =
    new Cache::SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache( { 'namespace' => 'MyNamespace',
                                             'default_expires_in' => 600,
                                             'max_size' => 10000 } );
```
