Apache...Hstore(3pm)

💅 Apache::Session::Serialize::Hstore 🎀

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual (iykyk, the perl 3pm girlies) and it's all about Apache::Session::Serialize::Hstore — the little module that handles serialize/unserialize duties for your PostgreSQL hstore storage. yes, that's the whole personality ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Apache::Session::Serialize::Hstore — literally the module that serializes/unserializes datas for PostgreSQL hstore storage. that's it, that's the job, and it does it slayfully 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe check — the whole API in four lines, no notes:

use Apache::Session::Serialize::Hstore;

$zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Hstore::serialize($ref);
$ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Hstore::unserialize($zipped);

like, you throw a ref at it, it gives you back $zipped, and it can absolutely reverse that. icon behavior 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so this module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session — it's the plug-in-able piece that fits into that bigger system, bestie. and it's very specific about what it touches: it serializes only ref data value for PostgreSQL hstore fields. that's the whole scope. no cap, that's the assignment and it ate 💅
