# Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase(3pm)

Use Storable to zip up persistent data and unpack/pack to put into Sybase-compatible image field

## NAME

Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase - Use Storable to zip up persistent data and unpack/pack to put into Sybase-compatible image field

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase;
 $zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase::serialize($ref);
 $ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase::unserialize($zipped);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session by taking the data from Apache::Session::Serialize::Storable and modifying it to work with Sybase IMAGE fields. Note that you do **not** need to  quote these values before inserting into the database, and that if you are using DBI::Sybase, you cannot use the data in a placeholder. If you use Apache::Session::Sybase as your session class, this will all  get taken care of.
