Store => 'DB_File',
Lock => 'Null',
Generate => 'MD5',
Serialize => 'Storable'
};

DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. Unlike other
implementations, it allows you to specify the backing store, locking
scheme, ID generator, and data serializer at runtime. You do this by
passing arguments in the usual Apache::Session style (see SYNOPSIS).
You may use any of the modules included in this distribution, or a
module of your own making. If you wish to use a module of your own
making, you should make sure that it is available under the
Apache::Session package namespace.
USAGE
You pass the modules you want to use as arguments to the constructor.
The Apache::Session::Whatever part is appended for you: you should not
supply it. For example, if you wanted to use MySQL as the backing
store, you should give the argument "Store =" 'MySQL'>, and not "Store
=" 'Apache::Session::Store::MySQL'>. There are four modules that you
need to specify. Store is the backing store to use. Lock is the
locking scheme. Generate is the ID generation module. Serialize is
the data serialization module.
There are many modules included in this distribution. For each role,
they are:
Store:
MySQL
Postgres
DB_File
File
Lock:
Null
MySQL
Semaphore
Generate:
MD5
Serialize:
Storable
Base64
UUEncode
In addition to the arguments needed by this module, you must provide
whatever arguments are expected by the backing store and lock manager
that you are using. Please see the documentation for those modules.
