NAME

       Apache::Session::Store::File - Store persistent data on the filesystem

SYNOPSIS

        use Apache::Session::Store::File;

        my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::File;

        $store->insert($ref);
        $store->update($ref);
        $store->materialize($ref);
        $store->remove($ref);

DESCRIPTION

       This module fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session.  The serialized objects are stored in
       files on your filesystem.

OPTIONS

       This module requires one argument in the usual Apache::Session style.  The name of the option is
       Directory, and the value is the full path of the directory where you wish to place the files.  Example

        tie %s, 'Apache::Session::File', undef,
           {Directory => '/tmp/sessions'};

NOTES

       All session objects are stored in the same directory.  Some filesystems, such as Linux's ext2fs, have
       O(n) performance where n is the number of files in a directory.  Other filesystems, like Sun's UFS, and
       Linux's reiserfs, do not have this problem.  You should consider your filesystem's performance before
       using this module to store many objects.
