DESCRIPTION
This module implements CGI session state via a MySQL database. If you
are just starting out, we recomment CGI::Session instead of this
module.
The Perl modules that CAM::Session most closely resemble are
CGI::Session and Apache::Session. It's main advantages over those
module are:
* Simplicity - there's almost nothing to configure
* Compatibility with CAM::App and CAM::UserApp
It's disadvantages are:
* Flexibility of the datastore - CAM::Session supports only MySQL
* Some features, like distinguishing access time from creation time
* CGI::Session is very popular
