💅 CGI::Se...storable(3) — User Contributed Perl Documentation 💅

hii bestie 🫶, welcome to the page for CGI::Se...storable(3), brought to you by the User Contributed Perl Documentation girlies. she's here to spill the tea about serializing sessions, and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

CGI::Session::Serialize::storable — the serializer for CGI::Session. no cap, that's her whole job. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. it uses Storable. that's the vibe. periodt. 🎀

✨ METHODS ✨

💖 freeze($class, \%hash) 💖

she receives two arguments, bestie. first is the class name, and second is the data to be serialized. on success she should return a serialized string; on failure she should return undef. if it goes sideways, the error message should be set using "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()"". literally that exact string, don't come for me. 🪄

🌈 thaw($class, $string) 🌈

she also receives two arguments. first is the class name, and second is the frozen data string. on success she should return the thawed data structure; on failure she should return undef. error message? set it using "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()"". same energy, different method. 🦋

👑 LICENSING 👑
