       Kazuho Oku

       Cache::LRU is a simple, fast implementation of an in-memory LRU cache in pure perl.

Cache::LRU->new(size=>$max_num_of_entries)
       Creates a new cache object.  Takes a hash as the only argument.  The only parameter currently recognized
       is the "size" parameter that specifies the maximum number of entries to be stored within the cache
       object.

   $cache->get($key)
       Returns the cached object if exists, or undef otherwise.

   $cache->set($key=>$value)
       Stores the given key-value pair.

   $cache->remove($key)
       Removes data associated to the given key and returns the old value, if any.

   $cache->clear($key)
       Removes all entries from the cache.
