NAME
Data::Session::ID::UUID64 - A persistent session manager
Synopsis
See Data::Session for details.
Description
Data::Session::ID::UUID64 allows Data::Session to generate session ids using Data::UUID.
To use this module do this:
Note: The uuid will be 24 (sic) bytes because that's the number of bytes in a UUID64 digest.
See scripts/digest.pl.
Case-sensitive Options
See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information.
Method: new()
Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::UUID64.
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 Data::UUID -> new -> create_b64.
Returns the new id.
Warning: You should never try to use 'driver:File;id:UUID64;...', since the ids generated by this module sometimes contain '/', which the code forbids to be part of a file name.
Method: id_length()
Returns 24 (sic) because that's the number of bytes in a UUID64 digest.
This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table.
See scripts/digest.pl.
