NAME

the Data::Session::ID::SHA1 manpage - A persistent session manager

Synopsis

See the Data::Session manpage for details.

Description

the Data::Session::ID::SHA1 manpage allows the Data::Session manpage to generate session ids using the Digest::SHA manpage.

To use this module do this:

o Specify an id generator of type SHA1, as Data::Session -> new(type => '... id:SHA1 ...')

Case-sensitive Options

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

Method: `new()`

Creates a new object of type the Data::Session::ID::SHA1 manpage.

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 Digest::SHA -> new(1) -> add($$, time, rand(time) ) -> hexdigest.

Returns the new id.

Method: `id_length()`

Returns 40 because that's the number of hex digits in an SHA1 digest.
