CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
    The set of configuration parameters contain required and optional
    parameters.

    Required parameters should be defined. Execution will be stoped if
    required parameter not present.

    Optional parameters just configure aditional functionality and may not
    present.

  Required parameters
    cache_path
        - Path string where the cache should be placed.

        May be absolute or relative from current execution directory path.

        For example. Set it to "./cache" if you whant to place cache in
        "cache" subdirectory of your script working directory.

    cache_url
        - complet URL (or relative location) to cached images.

        Place here your URL reflection of cache directory in condition with
        your HTTP server configuration.

        For example. Set it to "http://my.host.com/images/" if your HTTP
        server configured for provide access to your cache directory by
        hostname "my.host.com" and location "images/". Cached images names
        will be added to image URL automaticaly.

    list
        - reference to "XAO::DO::FS::List" object containing the data
        objects with Image source URL

        Meaning, your data look like a XAO Foundation Server list of objects
        with references to images. This parameter should contain reference
        to to XAO::DO::FS::List object. This reference may be result of
        XAO::Objects->fetch() methode.

        XAO::ImageCache will process each record of this list.

    source_url_key
        - data key containing the URL of source image.

        Contain the name of key of data object containing the source image
        reference.

  Optional parameters
    dest_url_key
        - data key for storing URL of image in cache.

        Optional parameter cause image name in cache will be a MD5 Base64
        digest of source image path where "=" character removed, "\" and "+"
        translated to "_" and "-" simultaniosely.

        To get cached image name

    size
        - Prefered image size may set as "geometry" equal to "geometry"
        parameter of Image::Magick module to pass it dirrectly to
        Image::Magick Scale function.

        Other way to set the image size is set a width and height keys to
        preffered values.

        If one of image dimension is not defined then corresponding
        parameter of original image will be used.

        This way, image will be resized with same aspect ratio (same
        proportions) to the original image if "save_aspect_ratio" parameter
        present.

        Image width and height will be resized exactly to given size if
        "save_aspect_ratio" parameter not present.

        Parameter "geometry" has higher priority and other parameters has no
        effects if "geometry" peresent.

        For example.

            # Size 320x200 as geometry settings
            %params = (size => {geometry => "320x200!"} );

            # Size 320x200 as dimensions settings
            %params = (size => {width => 320, height => 200} );

            # Fit size into 320x200 with saving image proportions
            %params = (
                size => {
                    width                   => 320,
                    height                   => 200,
                    save_aspect_ratio => 1,
                }
            );

    autocreate
        - create or check cache content automaticaly.

        If non zero value present, cache directory will be created and
        images checking will be runned. Otherwithe you should run init() and
        check() methodes manualy.

        Existent cache directory will not be removed. You may do it manualy
        using remove_cache() methode.

    force_download
        - each image should be reloaded to cache and processed without
        dependance of source image modification time. Any conditions
        ignored.

    thumbnail
        - thumbnails creator configuration

        Some thubnails configuration parameters may be set for automatic
        thumbnails creation. This parameter should contain the reference to
        hash with thumbnails configuration parameters.

        Only "path" parameter is required. Other parameters are optional.

        path
            path where thumbnail images should be placed.

        url URL for access to thumbnails directory. Same way as "cache_url".

        url_key
            Data object key name where thumbnail URL should be stored.

        geometry
            Geometry string to set thumbnail images size in Image Magick
            geometry format. May be set as dimension ("320x200!") or as
            persent of actual size of cached image ("25%").

            Default value is "50%" the half of actual image size.

    useragent
        - configuration parameters hash for LWP::UserAgent

        agent
            Default value "XAO-ImageCache/#.##"

        env_proxy
            Default value 1

        keep_alive
            Default value 1

        timeout
            Default value 30
