📝 DESCRIPTION

db_file stores session data in BerkelyDB file using DB_File — Perl module. All sessions will be stored in a single file, specified in FileName driver argument as in the above example. If FileName isn't given, defaults to /tmp/cgisess.db, or its equivalent on a non‑UNIX system.

If the directory hierarchy leading to the file does not exist, it will be created for you.

This module takes a UMask option which will be used if DB_File has to create the database file for you. By default the umask is 0660.
