NAME

       CGI::Session::Serialize::yaml - serializer for CGI::Session

DESCRIPTION

       This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It uses "YAML", or the faster C
       implementation, "YAML::Syck" if it is available. YAML serializers exist not just for Perl but also other
       dynamic languages, such as PHP, Python, and Ruby, so storing session data in this format makes it easy to
       share session data across different languages.

       YAML is made to be friendly for humans to parse as well as other computer languages. It creates a format
       that is easier to read than the default serializer.

METHODS

       freeze($class, \%hash)
           Receives  two  arguments.  First  is  the class name, the second is the data to be serialized. Should
           return  serialized  string  on  success,  undef  on  failure.  Error  message  should  be  set  using
           "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()""

       thaw($class, $string)
           Received  two  arguments.  First  is  the class name, second is the "YAML" data string. Should return
           thawed  data  structure  on  success,  undef  on  failure.  Error  message  should   be   set   using
           "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()""
