# Data::Session::ID::UUID64(3pm)

A persistent session manager

## NAME

Data::Session::ID::UUID64 - A persistent session manager

## Synopsis

See Data::Session for details.

## Description

Data::Session::ID::UUID64 allows Data::Session to generate session ids using Data::UUID.

To use this module do this:

- o Specify an id generator of type UUID64, as Data::Session -\> new(type =\> '... id:UUID64 ...')

  Note: The uuid will be 24 (sic) bytes because that's the number of bytes in a UUID64 digest.

See scripts/digest.pl.

## Case-sensitive Options

See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information.

## Method: new()

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::UUID64.

`"new()"` takes a hash of key/value pairs, some of which might mandatory. Further, some combinations might be mandatory.

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.

- o 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.

The algorithm is Data::UUID -\> new -\> create\_b64.

Returns the new id.

Warning: You should never try to use 'driver:File;id:UUID64;...', since the ids generated by this module sometimes contain '/', which the code forbids to be part of a file name.

## Method: id\_length()

Returns 24 (sic) because that's the number of bytes in a UUID64 digest.

This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table.

See scripts/digest.pl.
