NAME
    Apache::Session::Store::File - Store persistent data on the filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     use Apache::Session::Store::File;

     my $store = Apache::Session::Store::File->new;

     $store->insert($ref);
     $store->update($ref);
     $store->materialize($ref);
     $store->remove($ref);

DESCRIPTION
    This module fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. The serialized objects are stored
    in files on your filesystem.

OPTIONS
    This module requires one argument in the usual Apache::Session style. The name of the option is
    Directory, and the value is the full path of the directory where you wish to place the files.
    Example

     tie %s, 'Apache::Session::File', undef,
        {Directory => '/tmp/sessions'};

NOTES
    All session objects are stored in the same directory. Some filesystems, such as Linux's ext2fs,
    have O(n) performance where n is the number of files in a directory. Other filesystems, like
    Sun's UFS, and Linux's reiserfs, do not have this problem. You should consider your filesystem's
    performance before using this module to store many objects.
