okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for Data::Session::ID::MD5 (that's the Data::...D::MD5(3pm) one, in case the terminal header was squinting at you) 🎀 it's a persistent session manager, and honestly? it's giving quiet little workhorse and we love her for it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Data::Session::ID::MD5 — a persistent session manager 🦋

---

✨ Synopsis ✨

See Data::Session for details. that's it, that's the synopsis, she's lowkey mysterious like that 🙈

---

✨ Description ✨

Data::Session::ID::MD5 lets Data::Session generate session ids using Digest::MD5. yes ma'am, MD5 doin' the heavy lifting 🔥

To use this module do this:

• Specify an id generator of type MD5, as Data::Session -> new(type => '... id:MD5 ...')

periodt. that's the whole vibe check ✅

---

✨ Case-sensitive Options ✨

See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information. ngl bestie, this one matters — go read it, i'm not even playing 😭

---

✨ Method: new() ✨

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::MD5. new object, who dis 💅

new() takes a hash of key/value pairs, some of which might mandatory. Further, some combinations might be mandatory. (yes, some combos are mandatory-mandatory, it's giving ✨commitment✨)

The keys are listed here in alphabetical order.

They are lower-case because they are (also) method names, meaning they can be called to set or get the value at any time. so you can literally just... ask her. iconic behavior fr fr 👑

• verbose => $integer — Print to STDERR more or less information. 🌸 Typical values are 0, 1 and 2. This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(verbose => $integer). This key is optional.

---

✨ Method: generate() ✨

Generates the next session id, or dies if it can't 💀 (dramatic but fair).

The algorithm is Digest::MD5 -> new -> add($$, time, rand(time) ) -> hexdigest.

Returns the new id. slay 🎀

---

✨ Method: id_length() ✨

Returns 32 because that's the number of hex digits in a MD5 digest. thirty-two, no cap 🧮✨

This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table. very handy, very main character energy 👑

See scripts/digest.pl.
