NAME

Maypole::Session - Session related functionality for maypole

SYNOPSIS

use Maypole::Session;

my $uid = Maypole::Session::generate_unique_id()

DESCRIPTION

This class provides session related methods for Maypole such as unique id's for requests.

Currently it provides only the generate_unique_id() function, by checking the id's generated by this function and included in submitted forms, it is possible to see if a form has been submitted before.. implementing these checks is left to the developer of that application.

Further functionality is to be added here in later versions to provide easy access to sessions, either through plugins or builtin methods.

FUNCTIONS

generate_unique_id()

my $uid = Maypole::Session::generate_unique_id()

generates a unique id and returns it, requires no arguments but accepts size, default is 32.

TODO

Currently implementing uniqueness tests of form submissions is left to the Maypole user, we plan to provide an optional default behaviour to automate this if required.
