HTML::Mason::Request::WithApacheSession ======================================= This module takes advantage of the new flexibility in Mason 1.09_01 and newer to integrate an Apache::Session session directly into Mason's Request object. This module is very alpha at this point, considering that it only works with a beta release of Mason! INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Then in your httpd.conf file add: PerlSetVar MasonRequestClass HTML::Mason::Request::WithApacheSession PerlSetVar MasonSessionClass Apache::Session::File PerlSetVar MasonSessionDataSource dbi:mysql:somedb DEPENDENCIES You must have Mason 1.09_01 or newer installed for this module to work at all. BUGS There is a bug in the most recent Mason beta, 1.09_02, that makes it impossible to configure this module via the Apache configuration file. Mason will complain about invalid parameters. If you really want to live on the bleading edge, feel free to install the CVS version of Mason, which includes a fix for this bug.
