Apache::SessionX extents Apache::Session. It was initialy written to use
|
|
Apache::Session from inside of HTML::Embperl, but is seems to be usefull
|
|
outside of Embperl as well, so here is it as standalone module.
|
|
|
|
Apache::Session is a persistence framework which is particularly useful
|
|
for tracking session data between httpd requests. Apache::Session is
|
|
designed to work with Apache and mod_perl, but it should work under CGI
|
|
and other web servers, and it also works outside of a web server
|
|
altogether.
|
|
|
|
Apache::Session consists of five components: the interface, the object
|
|
store, the lock manager, the ID generator, and the serializer. The
|
|
interface is defined in SessionX.pm, which is meant to be easily
|
|
subclassed. The object store can be the filesystem, a Berkeley DB, a MySQL
|
|
DB, an Oracle DB, or a Postgres DB. Locking is done by lock files,
|
|
semaphores, or the locking capabilities of MySQL and Postgres.
|
|
Serialization is done via Storable, and optionally ASCII-fied via MIME or
|
|
pack(). ID numbers are generated via MD5. The reader is encouraged to
|
|
extend these capabilities to meet his own requirements.
