Description
Data::Session::ID::SHA256 allows Data::Session to generate session ids using Digest::SHA.
To use this module do this:
o Specify an id generator of type SHA256, as Data::Session -> new(type => '... id:SHA256 ...')
Method: Generate()
Generates the next session id, or dies if it can't.
The algorithm is Digest::SHA -> new(256) -> add($$, time, rand(time) ) -> hexdigest.
Returns the new id.
Method: Id_Length()
Returns 64 because that's the number of hex digits in an SHA256 digest.
This can be used to generate the SQL to create the sessions table.
Method: New()
Creates a new object of type Data::Session::ID::SHA256.
"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.
