Release history of Apache-Session


24 February 2004                  Jeffrey W. Baker <[email protected]>    

DESCRIPTION

This is Apache::Session 1.86

These modules provide persistent storage for arbitrary data, in arbitrary backing stores. The details of interacting with the backing store are abstracted to make all backing stores behave alike. The programmer simply interacts with a tied hash.
