NAME

       Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase - Use Storable to zip up persistent data and unpack/pack to put into
       Sybase-compatible image field

SYNOPSIS

        use Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase;

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

DESCRIPTION

       This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session by taking the data from
       Apache::Session::Serialize::Storable and modifying it to work with Sybase IMAGE fields. Note that you do
       not need to quote these values before inserting into the database, and that if you are using DBI::Sybase,
       you cannot use the data in a placeholder. If you use Apache::Session::Sybase as your session class, this
       will all get taken care of.
