=head1 NAME

Image Cache - Class to "cache" dynamically created images.

=head1 Dependencies

PHP with gd and png support compiled in.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Example:
$image = new Image_Cache("this_image.png");
if($image->get()) {
$image->display();
}else{
//create a png named $png
$image->store($png);
$image->display();
}

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Basically, Image Cache writes dynamically created images to disk on the first access so that on
subsequent requests the image may be read from disk, rather than redrawn from computations. It also
has the ability to set a timeout on images so that they are recalculated after a certain duration.

class Image_Cache {

/*
