NAME MooseX::ExpiredAttribute - Expired and auto rebuilded attributes in Moose objects SYNOPSIS package MyClass; use Moose; use MooseX::ExpiredAttribute; has 'config' => ( traits => [ qw( Expired ) ], is => 'rw', isa => 'HashRef', expires => 5.5, lazy => 1, builder => '_build_config', ); sub _build_config { ... # open config file, read and hash forming } package main; my $prog = MyClass->new; $prog->config; # First calling - here read file and hash of configs sleep 2; # only 2 seconds elapsed $prog->config; # Here no read - only attribute value returning sleep 4; # elapsed ~ 6 seconds from first calling of builder - more than 5.5 'expires' option $prog->config; # Here new read file and new hash of configs bacause old value has been expired sleep 3; # only 3 seconds elapsed from rebuilding $prog->config; # Here no read - only attribute value returning ... and even by this way: package MyRole; use Moose::Role; use MooseX::ExpiredAttribute; has 'config' => ( traits => [ qw( Expired ) ], is => 'rw', isa => 'HashRef', expires => 5.5, lazy => 1, builder => '_build_config', ); sub _build_config { ... # open config file, read and hash forming } package MyClass; with 'MyRole'; has 'foo' => ( is => 'rw' ); package main; my $prog = MyClass->new; $prog->config; # First calling - here read file and hash of configs ... DESCRIPTION This module allow to create expired attributes with auto-rebuilding feature after elapsed time. Goal of module is attrubutes which can be able to have the time-varying value. For example some configs can be changed by user during program runtime and wished to be reread by program every one minute for example. All that is required from you to add trait to attribute and to add 'expires' option (in fractal seconds). An attribute should have a builder too!
