WebDyne::Session

NAME

WebDyne::Session - simple session-cookie module for the WebDyne handler chain

SYNOPSIS

__PERL__
use WebDyne::Session;

DESCRIPTION

WebDyne::Session is a chaining module that ensures each request has a session identifier stored in a browser cookie.

When imported from a page __PERL__ block, it switches the page to WebDyne::Chain handling and adds itself to the active chain. At runtime it reads the configured session cookie, generates a new identifier when one is missing, and exposes the identifier through the page object.

METHODS

  • handler($self, $r, $param_hr)

    Read or create the session cookie and then pass control to the next handler in the chain.

  • session_id()

    Return the current session identifier for the active page/request object.

CONSTANTS

Cookie naming is controlled by WEBDYNE_SESSION_ID_COOKIE_NAME from WebDyne::Session::Constant.

NOTES

The current implementation uses Crypt::URandom to generate new session IDs.
