OK. It lloks like you might benefit from thinking "hash name" in place of the
"namespaces" used in this package. That or think of "package or lexical scope"
when considering Perl namespaces. From what I see of the docs for Cache::Cache,
the conceptual base of the Cache::FileCache package, each anmespace is pretty
much equivalent to a hash--one that you can keep around indepentdent of your
programs execution. I'm a bit fuzzy on the implementation details, but this
will do ffor separating them.
You might try some testing to see what works. I probably will myself, but later
on. At first blush, I would guess that a given namespace within a given cache
root will be available, to any Perl program using the module, by the names of
the cache root and hash/namespace.
The proof, though, isin the pudding. Test.
