 Persistent cache behaves like a hash, with a pluggable back-end. Currently sqlite3, file system directory and RAM back-ends are provided. The cache defaults to type STORAGE_SQLITE
 
-Values in the cache have a default freshness period of 15465600 ms. This can be configured in the cache initializer. Setting fresh = nil indicates that data remains fresh for-ever. Each user of the cache may have his own independent freshness value. If stale data is requested from the cache, nil is returned. Data is marshalled before storage. If a key is not found in the cache, nil is returned. Setting the value of a key in the cache to nil deletes the entry. If required, creation time of an entry can be specified using set(key, value, timestamp)
