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.
