CGI::Session::ID::incr(3)                  User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       CGI::Session::ID::incr - CGI::Session ID driver

SYNOPSIS
           use CGI::Session;
           $session = CGI::Session->new("id:Incr", undef, {
                                       Directory   => '/tmp',
                                       IDFile      => '/tmp/cgisession.id',
                                       IDInit      => 1000,
                                       IDIncr      => 2 });

DESCRIPTION
       CGI::Session::ID::incr is to generate auto incrementing Session IDs.
       Compare it with CGI::Session::ID::md5, where session ids are truly
       random 32 character long strings. CGI::Session::ID::incr expects the
       following arguments passed to CGI::Session->new() as the third
       argument.

       IDFile
           Location where auto incremented IDs are stored. This attribute is
           required.

       IDInit
           Initial value of the ID if it's the first ID to be generated. For
           example, if you want the ID numbers to start with 1000 as opposed
           to 0, that's where you should set your value. Default is 0.

       IDIncr
           How many digits each number should increment by. For example, if
           you want the first generated id to start with 1000, and each
           subsequent id to increment by 10, set IDIncr to 10 and IDInit to
           1000. Default is 1.
