NAME
   Apache::Session::Generate::AutoIncrement - Use monotonically increasing
   IDs

SYNOPSIS
    use Apache::Session::Generate::AutoIncrement;

    $id = Apache::Session::Generate::AutoIncrement::generate();

DESCRIPTION
   This module fulfills the ID generation interface of Apache::Session. The
   IDs are generated using a monotonically increasing counter value. This
   counter is file-based using the File::Counter module, so it is probably
   not very efficient and fast.

   This module can also examine session IDs to ensure that they are,
   indeed, session ID numbers and not evil attacks. The reader is
   encouraged to consider the effect of bogus session ID numbers in a
   system which uses these ID numbers to access disks and databases.

   This modules takes two arguments in the usual Apache::Session style. The
   first argument is IDLength, and the value, between 0 and 32, tells this
   modulevwhere to truncate the session ID. Without this argument, the
   session ID will be 10 digits. The second argument is CounterFile, which
   is the file in which the counted value will reside. This parameter is
   given directly to the File::Counter module.
