NAME

Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode - Use Storable and "pack()" to zip up persistent data

SYNOPSIS

 use Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode;
 $zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode::serialize($ref);
 $ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::UUEncode::unserialize($zipped);

DESCRIPTION

This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session. It serializes the data in the session object by use of Storable's "nfreeze()" and "thaw()" functions, and Perl's "pack()" and "unpack()". The serialized data is ASCII text, suitable for storage in backing stores that don't handle binary data gracefully, such as Postgres.
