Data::...:SHA512(3pm)

✨ Data::Session::ID::SHA512 ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the 3pm manual, iykyk) and it's literally all about Data::Session::ID::SHA512 🎀

---

💖 NAME 💖

Data::Session::ID::SHA512 — a persistent session manager 💅

---

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

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

---

🦋 Description 🦋

Data::Session::ID::SHA512 lets Data::Session generate session ids using Digest::SHA. no cap, that's the whole job and she does it gorgeously ✨

To use this module do this:

• Specify an id generator of type SHA512, as in Data::Session -> new(type => '... id:SHA512 ...')

periodt 💅

---

🎀 Case-sensitive Options 🎀

See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information. fr fr, go read it, it matters 🙈

---

⭐ Method: new() ⭐

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::SHA512. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

new() takes a hash of key/value pairs, some of which might mandatory. Further, some combinations might be mandatory. (yes bestie, "might mandatory", that's exactly what it says, we don't gatekeep the original wording here 💖)

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. cute AND functional, we love a dual-purpose queen 🌈

• 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::SHA -> new(512) -> add($$, time, rand(time) ) -> hexdigest.

Returns the new id. slay ✨

---

💜 Method: id_length() 💜

Returns 128 because that's the number of hex digits in an SHA512 digest. math ate, no crumbs 🧚

This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table. very helpful of her ngl 🍓
