[edit] package Baldrick::FileSession

Baldrick::FileSession is a subclass of Baldrick::Session. This class stores session information in text files, one per session, and rewrites those files at the conclusion of each request.

Ordinarly, one does not instantiate a FileSession directly, instead letting the Baldrick::App create it based on directives in the configuration file.

As well as providing applications with a place to store data between requests, the Session object is required in order to support user login.

[edit] Usage

In the configuration file baldrick.cfg: 

<SessionManager default>
    type = file
    # directory = directory where session manager will dump session files.
    directory = /tmp/sessions
</SessionManager>

In your Baldrick::Dogsbody subclass: 

 my $ssn = $self->getSession();
 my $cartitems = $ssn->get("cartitems");
 $ssn->put("fred", 123);

Only scalar values may be stored in a session - it is an error to call put() with a reference as the value.

[edit] Interface

Baldrick::FileSession has no public interface except that which is provided by its base classes, Baldrick::Session and Baldrick::Turnip. The most commonly used functions are:

get(key)
put(key, value)
getID()
