NAME

CGI::Session::ID::Base32 - CGI::Session ID driver based on Base32 encoding

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::Session;

$session = new CGI::Session("id:Base32", undef, { Directory => '/tmp' };

DESCRIPTION

CGI::Session::ID::Base32 is to generate Base32 encoded random ids. The library does not require any arguments.

There are two reasons why to use it
 - shorter string result
 - case insensibility

( both very usefull for user login and other similar purposes, keyboard inputs, email contained codes, etc... )
