Jifty::CAS::Blob - An object in Jifty's content-addressed store

my $blob = Jifty::CAS->retrieve('js', $key);
my $content = $blob->content;
my $meta = $blob->metadata;
my $key = $blob->key;

Objects in the content-addressed store can have arbitrary metadata associated with them, in addition to storing their contents.

Takes a HASHREF, with possible keys "content" and "metadata", and creates a new object. Possible special keys in the metadata include:
Provides the data to hash to generate the address. If no hash_with is provided, the content itself is hashed.
If set to a true value, deflates the content using "memGzip" in Compress::Zlib, and stores that in "content_deflated".
Returns the content of the blob.
If "deflate" in the metadata was set, contains the deflated content.
Returns a hashref of metadata.
Retuens the key calculated for this content.
