NAME
       Apache::Session::Store::File - Store persistent data on the filesystem

SYNOPSIS
        use Apache::Session::Store::File;

        my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::File;

        $store->insert($ref);
        $store->update($ref);
        $store->materialize($ref);
        $store->remove($ref);

DESCRIPTION
       This module fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session.  The
       serialized objects are stored in files on your filesystem.

OPTIONS
       This module requires one argument in the usual Apache::Session style.
       The name of the option is Directory, and the value is the full path of
       the directory where you wish to place the files.  Example

        tie %s, 'Apache::Session::File', undef,
           {Directory => '/tmp/sessions'};

NOTES
       All session objects are stored in the same directory.  Some filesys-
       tems, such as Linux's ext2fs, have O(n) performance where n is the num-
       ber of files in a directory.  Other filesystems, like Sun's UFS, and
       Linux's reiserfs, do not have this problem.  You should consider your
       filesystem's performance before using this module to store many
       objects.
