Hi all, I'm glad to announce first public release of 'Template::Plugin::Session' module.
Template::Plugin::Session - Template Toolkit interface to Apache::Session This Template Toolkit plugin provides an interface to Apache::Session module wich provides a persistence framework for session data. Darren Chamberlain has suggested to me that a general session managing plugin will be useful in other contexts than in web development w/Apache, so I've wrote it :-). You can download it from CPAN: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EN/ENRYS/Template-Plugin-Session-0.01.tar.gz SYNOPSIS [% options = { Store => 'File' Generate => 'MD5', Lock => 'Null', Serialize => 'Storable', Directory => '/tmp/session_data/' } %] # for a first time session generation [% USE mysess = Session ( undef, options ) %] # to retrieve session by id [% USE mysess = Session ( 'b7cc652e2944b8f77651d1a122cdc5f2', options ) %] If the constructor cannot create a session instance using the arguments passed, a "Session" Exception is thrown, which will need to be caught appropriately: [% TRY %] [% USE mysess = Session ( id, options ) %] [% CATCH Session %] Can't create/restore session id [% CATCH %] Unexpected exception: [% error %] [% END %] For detailed module methods and info, see: perldoc Template::Plugin::Session by - Enrico
