💖 Apache::Session::DB_File 💖

okay bestie, so this is Apache::Session::DB_File from the Perl user-contributed docs, and it is literally the moment your sessions get a home. it's an implementation of Apache::Session, periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Apache::Session::DB_File;

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::DB_File', $id, {
   FileName      => 'sessions.db',
   LockDirectory => '/var/lock/sessions',
};

look at that. tie that %hash and you're done, no cap. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — this module is an implementation of Apache::Session. it uses the DB_File backing store and the File locking scheme, and that combo is giving iconic honestly.

you must specify the filename of the database file and the directory for locking in the arguments to the constructor. like, both of them. the vibe check will not pass without them. 🚨

go peek at the example above, and also go read the docs for Apache::Session::Store::DB_File and Apache::Session::Lock::File — they're the ones actually doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. iykyk. 💖
