NAME

Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64 - Use Storable and MIME::Base64 to zip up persistent data

SYNOPSIS


 use Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64;




 $zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::serialize($ref);

 $ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::unserialize($zipped);



DESCRIPTION

This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session. It serializes the data in the session object by use of Storable's "nfreeze()" and "thaw()" functions, and MIME::Base64's "encode_bas64" and "decode_base64". The serialized data is ASCII text, suitable for storage in backing stores that don't handle binary data gracefully, such as Postgres.
