NAME
Apache::Session::Store::File - Store persistent data on the filesystem
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Store::File;
my $store = Apache::Session::Store::File->new;
$store->insert($ref);
$store->update($ref);
$store->materialize($ref);
$store->remove($ref);DESCRIPTION
This module fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. The serialized objects are stored in files on your filesystem.
OPTIONS
This module requires one argument in the usual Apache::Session style. The name of the option is Directory, and the value is the full path of the directory where you wish to place the files. Example
tie %s, 'Apache::Session::File', undef,
{Directory => '/tmp/sessions'};NOTES
All session objects are stored in the same directory. Some filesystems, such as Linux's ext2fs, have O(n) performance where n is the number of files in a directory. Other filesystems, like Sun's UFS, and Linux's reiserfs, do not have this problem. You should consider your filesystem's performance before using this module to store many objects.
