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.
