The control record is (essentially) just the username, password and
server name packed into a C-struct. There's no magic in it. What you
want to do is cache that information within your application (by using
Apache::Session for example) and then fetch it and call ars_Login() for
each http transaction.
Yes, there are security issues with doing the above, but if you could
serialize the control record, you'd have the same issues.
You can fetch the contents of the control record and store the useful
fields by using ars_GetControlStructFields()
Save this as /tmp/t.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use ARS;
$c = ars_Login(shift, shift, shift);
die $ars_errstr unless $c;
print join(',', ars_GetControlStructFields($c)), "\n";
exit 0;
and type this:
perl /tmp/t.pl yourserver youruser yourpass
and you'll see that the control record contains very little information.
