NAME
       Apache::Session::Informix - An implementation of Apache::Session

SYNOPSIS
        use Apache::Session::Informix;

        #if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:

        tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Informix', $id, {
           DataSource => 'dbi:Informix:sessions',
           UserName   => $db_user,
           Password   => $db_pass,
           Commit     => 1
        };

        #or, if your handles are already opened:

        tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Informix', $id, {
           Handle => $dbh,
           Commit => 1
        };

DESCRIPTION
       This module is an implementation of Apache::Session.  It uses the
       Informix backing store and no locking.  See the example, and the docu-
       mentation for Apache::Session::Store::Informix for more details.

USAGE
       The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit.  You
       MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to either
       commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing.
       This feature is provided so that this module will not have adverse
       interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local
       database handle caching policy.  The argument is mandatory in order to
       make you think about this problem.

       This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the
       maximum size of the session object.  If not specified, the default max-
       imum is 8 KB.

       This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>.
