📛 NAME

CGI::Session::ID::static - CGI::Session ID Driver for generating static IDs

🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
Create session with static ID from client IP	CGI::Session->new('driver:mysql;id:static', $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}, { Handle => $dbh })	Generates a session using the client's IP address as the static ID with a MySQL driver backend
Create session with custom static ID	CGI::Session->new('driver:file;id:static', 'my_custom_id')	Uses an arbitrary string as the static session ID with a file-based driver
Required ID validation	CGI::Session->new('driver:mysql;id:static', undef)	⚠️ Will croak – a valid ID must be provided; this driver cannot generate one

📋 SYNOPSIS

use CGI::Session;
$session = CGI::Session->new( 'driver:mysql;id:static', $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}, { Handle => $dbh } );

📝 DESCRIPTION

CGI::Session::ID::static is used to generate consistent, static session IDs. In other words, you tell CGI::Session ID you want to use, and it will honor it.

Unlike the other ID drivers, this one requires that you provide an ID when creating the session object; if you pass it an undefined value, it will croak.
