NAME
Data::Session::ID::SHA256 - A persistent session manager
Synopsis
See Data::Session for details.
Description
Data::Session::ID::SHA256 allows Data::Session to generate session ids using Digest::SHA.
To use this module do this:
Case-sensitive Options
See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information.
Method: new()
Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::SHA256.
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 Digest::SHA -> new(256) -> add($$, time, rand(time) ) -> hexdigest.
Returns the new id.
Method: id_length()
Returns 64 because that's the number of hex digits in an SHA256 digest.
This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table.
