Apache...cached(3pm)

💖 Apache::Session::Memcached 💖

okay bestie, listen. this is the page for Apache::Session::Memcached, and it's living under the User Contributed Perl Documentation umbrella, section 3pm. yes it's a Perl module page. yes it's giving very "written in 2004" energy. and yes, we're gonna make it make sense. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Apache::Session::Memcached — stores persistent data using memcached (the memory cache daemon) as your Apache::Session storage backend. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, literally copy-paste core:

use Apache::Session::Memcached;
tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Memcached', $sid, {
   Servers => '10.0.0.1:20000 10.0.0.2:20000',
   NoRehash => 1,
   Readonly => 0,
   Debug => 1,
   CompressThreshold => 10_000
};

like… look at her. tying a hash to a memcached-backed session. iconic. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Apache::Session::Memcached is the bridge between Apache::Session and memcached, which is a distributed memory cache daemon. two icons, one collab. 🤝

if you want more tea about memcached itself, the info lives at <http://www.danga.com/memcached>.

what this module actually does: it gives you a way to use Cache::Memcached (that's the memcached Perl API, iykyk) as your Apache::Session storage implementation. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it. 💅

---

✨ INSTALLATION ✨

to install and use this package you're gonna need Perl version 5.005 or better. no ancient Perl, bestie, we're not doing that.

prerequisites 🎀

• Apache::Session >= 1.54
• Cache::Memcached >= 1.14

installation, as usual 🦋

%> perl Makefile.PL
%> make
%> make test
%> make install

⚠️ note, and this one's important: for live tests, you must run at least a memcached daemon. also you could need to edit the t/CONFIG file, in order to set the correct parameters used for testing. don't skip this and then act surprised, ok? 😭
