NAME Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::FastMmap - FastMmap session storage backend. SYNOPSIS use Catalyst qw/Session Session::Store::FastMmap Session::State::Foo/; MyApp->config->{session} = { expires => 3600, storage => '/tmp/session' }; # ... in an action: $c->session->{foo} = 'bar'; # will be saved DESCRIPTION "Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::FastMmap" is a fast session storage plugin for Catalyst that uses an mmap'ed file to act as a shared memory interprocess cache. It is based on Cache::FastMmap. METHODS get_session_data store_session_data delete_session_data delete_expired_sessions These are implementations of the required methods for a store. See Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store. get_and_set_session_data This is the optional method for atomic write semantics. See Catalyst::Plugin::Session::AtomicWrite. setup_session Sets up the session cache file. CAVEATS Very loaded sites with lots of data in the session hash may have old sessions expired prematurely, due to the LRU caching policy employed by Cache::FastMmap. To get around this you can increase the "cache_size" parameter, or switch session storage backends. This is particularly inappropriate for use as a backend for e.g. Catalyst::Plugin::Session::PerUser, for example. Cache::FastMmap defaults to around 5mb (89 * 64k). CONFIGURATION These parameters are placed in the hash under the "session" key in the configuration hash. storage Specifies the file to be used for the sharing of session data. The default value will use File::Spec to find the default tempdir, and use a file named "MyApp_session_data", where "MyApp" is replaced with the appname. Note that the file will be created with mode 0640, which means that it will only be writeable by processes running with the same uid as the process that creates the file. If this may be a problem, for example if you may try to debug the program as one user and run it as another, specify a filename like "/tmp/session-$>", which includes the UID of the process in the filename. init_file cache_size See the Cache::FastMmap documentation for the meaning of these keys. If these keys are not present Cache::FastMmap's defaults will be used. SEE ALSO Catalyst, Catalyst::Plugin::Session, Cache::FastMmap.
