💖 Mail::MtPolicyd::SessionCache::Memcached — the session cache adapter for memcached 💖

okay bestie, so this is Mail::MtPolicyd::SessionCache::Memcached, part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection (that's the manual name, iykyk — it shows up in the header as Mail::...cached(3pm) because terminals are dramatic and truncate everything 💅). It's a session cache adapter for memcached. That's it. That's the whole job. And it does it flawlessly.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.05 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, here's the vibe, literally just drop this into your config and go:

<SessionCache>
  module = "Memcached"
  #memcached = "memcached"
  # expire session cache entries
  expire = "300"
  # wait timeout will be increased each time 50,100,150,... (usec)
  lock_wait=50
  # abort after n retries
  lock_max_retry=50
  # session lock times out after (sec)
  lock_timeout=10
</SessionCache>

no notes. it's giving plug and play. 🌸

💅 PARAMETERS 💅

okay so these are the knobs you get to turn, and bestie, every single one of them matters:

  • memcached (default: memcached) — this is the name of the database connection you wanna use. super important: you have to define this connection first, like, before you try to use it. don't come crying to me if you skipped that step 😭. see Mail::MtPolicyd::Connection::Memcached for the whole thing.
  • expire (default: 5*60) — the timeout for sessions, in seconds. that's it. that's the whole parameter. ⏳
  • lock_wait (default: 50) — timeout for retry when a session is locked, in milliseconds. the retry happens in multiples of this timeout, so if you set it to 50, your retries go down at 50, 100, 150ms... like a little staircase of patience 🪜
  • lock_max_retry (default: 50) — the maximum number of retries before it gives up trying to obtain a lock on a session. after that it's just like "okay I'm out 🚪💨".
  • lock_timeout (default: 10) — how long session locks last, in seconds. periodt.
