# Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Backend::Memory(3pm)

Stupid memory based caching backend.

## NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Backend::Memory - Stupid memory based caching backend.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Backend::Memory;
    my $m = Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Backend::Memory->new;
    $m->set( foo => "thing" );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This backend uses Storable to cache data in memory.

In combination with an engine like FastCGI/mod\_perl/prefork which calls **fork()** your cache will get async because child processes don't share cache in memory.
