CGI::Se...:static(3)

💖 CGI::Session::ID::static(3) — the perl manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for CGI::Session::ID::static, which lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl universe (perl v5.42.2, dated 2026-07-28, if you're keeping receipts 📅). It's the ID driver that lets you pick the session ID instead of letting the machine decide. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

CGI::Session::ID::static — the CGI::Session ID Driver for generating static IDs. yep, that's the whole name, she's on the tin 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe in code, copied exactly, no cap:

use CGI::Session;
$session = CGI::Session->new( 'driver:mysql;id:static', $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}, { Handle => $dbh } );

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

CGI::Session::ID::static is the driver you call when you want consistent, static session IDs — like, the same ID every time, on purpose, and not in a bug way 💅. In other words: you tell CGI::Session which ID you want, and it will honor it. it's giving "you're the main character, you pick" 🫶

Unlike the other ID drivers, this one requires that you actually provide an ID when you create the session object. if you pass it an undefined value, it will croak. not a vibe check you want to fail, so fr fr pass it a real ID 😭

⚠️ heads up bestie: undefined ID = croak. that's a hard no from the driver, no negotiating 🔥
