📖 DESCRIPTION

sqlite driver stores session data in SQLite files using DBD::SQLite DBI driver. More details see CGI::Session::Driver::DBI, its parent class.

⚙️ DRIVER ARGUMENTS

Supported driver arguments are DataSource and Handle. At most only one of these arguments can be set while creating session object.

⚠️ As of version 1.7 of this driver, the third argument is NOT optional. Using a default database in the temporary directory is a security risk since anyone on the machine can create and/or read your session data. If you understand these risks and still want the old behavior, you can set the "DataSource" option to '/tmp/sessions.sqlt'.

🐛 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
