Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64(3)

NAME
Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64 - Use Storable and MIME::Base64 to zip up persistent data

SYNOPSIS
 use Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64;

 $zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::serialize($ref);
 $ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::unserialize($zipped);

DESCRIPTION
This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session. It serializes the data in the session object by use of Storable's nfreeze() and thaw() functions, and MIME::Base64's "encode_bas64" and "decode_base64". The serialized data is ASCII text, suitable for storage in backing stores that don't handle binary data gracefully, such as Postgres.
