=head1 NAME

Cache::YAMLCache -- implements the Cache interface.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The YAMLCache class implements the Cache interface by inheriting
from the Cache::FileCache module and, instead of using the Storable
module for doing cache writes, it saves the data to the filesystem
as YAML data.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Cache::YAMLCache;

  my $cache = new Cache::YAMLCache( { 'namespace' => 'MyNamespace',
                                      'default_expires_in' => 600 } );

  See Cache::Cache and Cache::FileCache for the usage synopsis.

=head1 METHODS

See Cache::Cache for the API documentation, and Cache::FileCache
for information about the methods this object exposes since Cache::YAMLCache
overrides only private methods.

=head1 OPTIONS

See Cache::FileCache for what your available options are.

=head1 PROPERTIES

See Cache::FileCache for default properties.  In fact, see Cache::FileCache for
pretty much everything.
