Data::...:Driver(3pm)

💖 Data::Session::Driver — the parent of ALL the session drivers 💖

okay bestie, so this is Data::Session::Driver, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's what the 3pm on the end is giving ✨). It's the manual page for the parent module that every single Data::Session::Driver::* module inherits from. She's the momager of the whole driver family, and honestly? iconic. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

Data::Session::Driver — a persistent session manager 💅

---

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

Like, the synopsis is not here, babe. Go look at Data::Session for the details:

See Data::Session for details.

That's it. That's the synopsis. She's mysterious. She's lowkey gatekeeping. 😭

---

✨ Description ✨

Data::Session::Driver is the parent of all Data::Session::Driver::* modules. Think of her as the mother of dragons but for session storage backends. Every driver out there is one of her children and they all inherit her whole vibe. 🐉

---

💅 Case-sensitive Options 💅

There's important info about case-sensitive options, but it does not live here. Nope. Go read "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session — that's where the tea is. ☕

---

🎀 Method: new() 🎀

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::Driver. Fresh baby driver, brand new, no cap. 🌱

new() takes a hash of key/value pairs, some of which might be mandatory. And heads up — some combinations might be mandatory too. So like, you can't just throw random keys in there and hope for the best, bestie. Read the docs for your specific driver. 🙈

---

🔥 Method: remove($id) 🔥

Deletes from storage the session identified by $id, or dies if it can't. It's giving "you either delete this session or this whole program ends," and honestly, respect the drama. 💀

Returns 1.

---

⭐ Method: retrieve($id) ⭐

Retrieves from storage the session identified by $id, or dies if it can't. Same energy as remove(), just the opposite direction. 🫶

Returns the session.

⚠️ Important!! This is a frozen session. This value must be thawed by calling the appropriate serialization driver's thaw() method. Do not try to use a frozen session directly, she is literally on ice. 🧊

Good news though: Data::Session calls the right thaw() automatically. So you don't have to do it yourself, but now you know it's happening behind the scenes, iykyk. ✨
