NAME

Apache2::ASP::SessionStateManager - Base class for Session State Managers.

SYNOPSIS

Within your ASP script:

<%
  $Session->{counter}++;
  $Response->Write("You have viewed this page $Session->{counter} times.");
%>

DESCRIPTION

The global $Session object is an instance of a subclass of Apache2::ASP::SessionStateManager.

It is a blessed hash that is persisted within a database. Use it to share information across all requests for all users.

NOTE: - do not store database connections within the $Session object because they cannot be shared across different processes/threads at this time.
