NAME

CGI::Session::ID::Static - CGI::Session ID Driver for Caching

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::Session;

$session = new CGI::Session("driver:SomeDriver;id:Static", "my_id", \%attrs);

DESCRIPTION

CGI::Session::ID::Static is used to generate consistent, static session ID's. The only time you would really want to do this is when you need to use CGI::Session for caching information, most likely the results of an expensive database query.

Unlike the other ID drivers, this one requires that you provide an ID when creating the session object; if you pass it an undefined value, it will cause an error.
