NAME¶

Data::Session::ID::UUID34 - A persistent session manager

Synopsis¶

See Data::Session for details.

Description¶

Data::Session::ID::UUID34 allows Data::Session to generate session ids using Data::UUID.

To use this module do this:

o Specify an id generator of type UUID34, as Data::Session -> new(type => '... id:UUID34 ...')

Case-sensitive Options¶

See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information.

Method: new()¶

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::UUID34.

"new()" takes a hash of key/value pairs, some of which might mandatory. Further, some combinations might be mandatory.

The keys are listed here in alphabetical order.

They are lower-case because they are (also) method names, meaning they can be called to set or get the value at any time.

o verbose => $integer

Print to STDERR more or less information.

Typical values are 0, 1 and 2.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(verbose => $integer).

This key is optional.

Method: generate()¶

Generates the next session id, or dies if it can't.

The algorithm is Data::UUID -> new -> create_hex.

Returns the new id.

Note: Data::UUID returns '0x' as the prefix of the 34-byte hex digest. You have been warned.

Method: id_length()¶

Returns 34 because that's the number of bytes in a UUID34 digest.

This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table.

See scripts/digest.pl.
