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.

AUTHOR

       Apache::Session::Serialize::Storable was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>; the Sybase-specific data manipulation was
       written by Mark Landry <mdlandry@lincoln.midcoast.com> for use in an earlier version of Apache::Session::DBI::Sybase and placed here by
       Chris Winters <chris@cwinters.com>.

NAME

       Apache::Session::Flex - Specify everything at runtime

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Flex;

	tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Flex', $id, {
	   Store     => 'DB_File',
	   Lock      => 'Null',
	   Generate  => 'MD5',
	   Serialize => 'Storable'
	};

	# or

	tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Flex', $id, {
	   Store     => 'Postgres',
	   Lock      => 'Null',
	   Generate  => 'MD5',
	   Serialize => 'Base64'
	};

	# you decide!

DESCRIPTION

       This module is an implementation of Apache::Session.  Unlike other implementations, it allows you to specify the backing store, locking
       scheme, ID generator, and data serializer at runtime.  You do this by passing arguments in the usual Apache::Session style (see SYNOPSIS).
       You may use any of the modules included in this distribution, or a module of your own making.  If you wish to use a module of your own
       making, you should make sure that it is available under the Apache::Session package namespace.

USAGE

       You pass the modules you want to use as arguments to the constructor.  The Apache::Session::Whatever part is appended for you: you should
       not supply it.  For example, if you wanted to use MySQL as the backing store, you should give the argument "Store =" 'MySQL'>, and not
       "Store =" 'Apache::Session::Store::MySQL'>.  There are four modules that you need to specify.  Store is the backing store to use.  Lock is
       the locking scheme.  Generate is the ID generation module.  Serialize is the data serialization module.

       There are many modules included in this distribution.  For each role, they are:

	Store:
	   MySQL
	   Postgres
	   DB_File
	   File

	Lock:
	   Null
	   MySQL
	   Semaphore

	Generate:
	   MD5

	Serialize:
	   Storable
	   Base64
	   UUEncode

       In addition to the arguments needed by this module, you must provide whatever arguments are expected by the backing store and lock manager
       that you are using.  Please see the documentation for those modules.
