Data::Session::Driver::Memcached - A persistent session manager

See Data::Session for details.

Data::Session::Driver::Memcached allows Data::Session to manipulate sessions Cache::Memcached.

To use this module do both of these:

See scripts/memcached.pl.

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

Method: new()

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::Driver::Memcached.

"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.

Specifies the object of type Cache::Memcached to use for session storage.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(cache => $object).

This key is mandatory.

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.

Deletes from storage the session identified by $id.

Returns the result of calling the Cache::Memcached method delete($id).

This result is a Boolean value indicating 1 => success or 0 => failure.

Retrieve from storage the session identified by $id.

Returns the result of calling the Cache::Memcached method get($id).

This result is a frozen session. This value must be thawed by calling the appropriate serialization driver's thaw() method.

Data::Session calls the right thaw() automatically.

Writes to storage the session identified by $id, together with its data $data. The expiry time of the object is passed into the set() method of Cache::Memcached, too.

Returns the result of calling the Cache::Memcached method set($id, $data, $time).

This result is a Boolean value indicating 1 => success or 0 => failure.

Note: $time is 0 for sessions which don't expire. If you wish to pass undef or 'never', as per the Cache::Memcached documentation, you will have to subclass Cache::Memcached and override the set() method to change 0 to 'never'.

Method: traverse()

There is no mechanism (apart from memcached's debug code) to get a list of all keys in a cache managed by memcached, so there is no way to traverse them via this module.

Returns 1.

        Get libevent from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
        I used V 2.0.8-rc
        ./configure
        make && make verify
        sudo make install
        It installs into /usr/local/lib, so tell memcached where to look:
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        Get memcached from http://memcached.org/
        I used V 1.4.5
        ./configure --with-libevent=/usr/local/lib
        make && make test
        sudo make install
        Running memcached:
        memcached -m 5 &
