NAME

CGI::Session::File - For stroing session data in plain files.

SYNOPSIS

    use CGI::Session::File;
    $session = new CGI::Session::File(undef, {Directory => '/tmp/sessions'});

    # for more examples see CGI::Session manual

DESCRIPTION

CGI::Session::File is the driver for the CGI::Session to store and retrieve the session data in and from plain text files.

To be able to write your own drivers for CGI::Session, please consult developer section of CGI::Session 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 the two following required key/value pairs:

Directory

path in the file system where all the session data will be stored

In versions prior to 2.6 one also had to indicate the LockDirectory, but it is no longer required.

CGI::Session::File serializes session data using Data::Dumper before storing it in the session file.
