NAME
CGI::Session::ID::MD5_Base32 - CGI::Session ID driver based on Base32
encoding
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Session;
$session = new CGI::Session("id:MD5_Base32", undef, { Directory => '/tmp' };
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Session::ID::MD5_Base32 is to generate MD5 digest Base32 encoded
random ids. The library does not require any arguments.
There are two reasons why to use it
- shorter string result
- case insensibility
( both very usefull for user login and other similar purposes, keyboard
inputs, email contained codes, etc... )
