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

Use Storable and "pack()" to zip up persistent data

## NAME

Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode - Use Storable and "pack()" to zip up persistent data

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode;
 $zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode::serialize($ref);
 $ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode::unserialize($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 Perl's `"pack()"` and `"unpack()"`.  The serialized data is ASCII text, suitable for storage in backing stores that don't handle binary data gracefully, such as Postgres.

## AUTHOR
