OpenFrame::AppKit::Session - sessions for OpenFrame

  use OpenFrame::AppKit::Session;

  my $session = OpenFrame::AppKit::Session->new();

  my $id = $session->id();
  $session->store();

  my $restored = OpenFrame::AppKit::Session->fetch( $id );

OpenFrame::AppKit::Session provides a session class that is capable of being stored and restored from disk. The session expects you to treat it as a standard HASH for all intents and purposes, but does allow you to encapsulate that with the methods get and set for top level keys.

* new

The new() method instantiates a new OpenFrame::AppKit::Session and returns it.

* init

The init() method provides initialization routines for OpenFrame::AppKit::Session

* id

The id() method returns the sessions id

* generate_id

The generate_id() method returns a new id, or the old id if it has already been generated.

* store

The store() method serializes the session to disk. It returns the session id that can be used to restore the session.

* fetch

The fetch() method takes a session id as a parameter and returns a restored session from disk. In the case that the session is unavailable it returns nothing.

* get

The get() method simply returns a key as specified by the first parameter and returns its value.

* set

The set() method simply sets a key value pair as specified by the first two parameters.
