DESCRIPTION

CGI::Session::DB_File is the driver for CGI::Session to store and retrieve the session data in and from the Berkeley DB 1.x. To be able to write your own drivers for the CGI::Session, please consult developer section of the manual.

Constructor requires two arguments, as all other CGI::Session drivers do. The first argument has to be session id to be initialized (or undef to tell the CGI::Session to create a new session id). The second argument has to be a reference to a hash with two following require key/value pairs:

Filename

path to a file where all the session data will be stored

LockDirectory

path in the file system where all the lock files for the sessions will be stored

CGI::Session::DB_File uses Data::Dumper to serialize the session data before storing it in the session file.

For more extensive examples of the CGI::Session usage, please refer to CGI::Session manual
