💖 Apache::Session::MySQL 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your manual, and it's all about Apache::Session::MySQL — an implementation of Apache::Session. yes, the name is giving "module that did not get a catchy nickname," we move anyway. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

Apache::Session::MySQL — an implementation of Apache::Session

like. that's it. that's the whole name section. it's honest, it's direct, it's lowkey iconic for saying exactly one thing and dipping. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no notes:

use Apache::Session::MySQL;

#if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
   DataSource => 'dbi:mysql:sessions',
   UserName   => $db_user,
   Password   => $db_pass,
   LockDataSource => 'dbi:mysql:sessions',
   LockUserName   => $db_user,
   LockPassword   => $db_pass
};

#or, if your handles are already opened:

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
   Handle     => $dbh,
   LockHandle => $dbh
};

so basically: two paths, pick your fighter. 🥊 either you let Apache::Session open brand new DB handles for you (that's the first block, with DataSource, UserName, Password, LockDataSource, LockUserName and LockPassword all doing their little jobs), or your handles are already opened and you just hand over Handle and LockHandle. no cap, that's the whole fork in the road.
