NAME

       Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::File - File storage backend for session data.

SYNOPSIS

           use Catalyst qw/Session Session::Store::File Session::State::Foo/;

           MyApp->config->{'Plugin::Session'} = {
               storage => '/tmp/session'
           };

           # ... in an action:
           $c->session->{foo} = 'bar'; # will be saved

DESCRIPTION

       "Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::File" is an easy to use storage plugin for Catalyst
       that uses an simple file to act as a shared memory interprocess cache. It is based on
       "Cache::FileCache".

   METHODS
       get_session_data
       store_session_data
       delete_session_data
       delete_expired_sessions
           These are implementations of the required methods for a store. See
           Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store.

       setup_session
           Sets up the session cache file.

CONFIGURATION

       These parameters are placed in the hash under the "Plugin::Session" key in the
       configuration hash.

       storage
           Specifies the directory root to be used for the sharing of session data. The default
           value will use File::Spec to find the default tempdir, and use a file named
           "MyApp/session/data", where "MyApp" is replaced with the appname.

           Note that the file will be created with mode 0640, which means that it will only be
           writeable by processes running with the same uid as the process that creates the file.
           If this may be a problem, for example if you may try to debug the program as one user
           and run it as another, specify a directory like "/tmp/session-$>", which includes the
           UID of the process in the filename.

       relative
           Makes the storage path relative to $c-path_to>

       namespace
           The namespace associated with this cache. Defaults to an empty string if not
           explicitly set.  If set, the session data will be stored in a directory called
           "MyApp/session/data/<namespace">.

       cache_depth
           The number of subdirectories deep to session object item. This should be large enough
           that no session directory has more than a few hundred objects. Defaults to 3 unless
           explicitly set.

       directory_umask
           The directories in the session on the filesystem should be globally writable to allow
           for multiple users. While this is a potential security concern, the actual cache
           entries are written with the user's umask, thus reducing the risk of cache poisoning.
           If you desire it to only be user writable, set the 'directory_umask' option to '077'
           or similar. Defaults to '000' unless explicitly set.
