NAME¶
Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64 - Use Storable and MIME::Base64 to zip up
persistent data
SYNOPSIS¶
use Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64;
$zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::serialize($ref);
$ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::unserialize($zipped);
DESCRIPTION¶
This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session. It
serializes the data in the session object by use of Storable's
"nfreeze()" and
"thaw()" functions, and MIME::Base64's
"encode_bas64" and
"decode_base64". The serialized data is
ASCII text, suitable for storage in backing stores that don't handle binary
data gracefully, such as Postgres.
