=head1 NAME

Plack::Middleware::Session - Middleware for session management

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Plack::Builder;

  my $app = sub {
      return [ 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ], [ 'Hello Foo' ] ];
  };

  builder {
      enable 'Session';
      $app;
  };

  # Or, use the File store backend (great if you use multiprocess server)
  # For more options, see perldoc Plack::Session::Store::File
  builder {
      enable 'Session', store => 'File';
      $app;
  };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a Plack Middleware component for session management. By
default it will use cookies to keep session state and store data in
memory. This distribution also comes with other state and store
solutions. See perldoc for these backends how to use them.

=head2 State

=over 4

=item L<Plack::Session::State>

This will maintain session state by passing the session through
the request params. It does not do this automatically though,
you are responsible for passing the session param.

=item L<Plack::Session::State::Cookie>

This will maintain session state using browser cookies.

=head2 Store

=over 4

=item L<Plack::Session::Store>

This is your basic in-memory session data store. It is volatile storage
and not recommended for multiprocessing environments. However it is
very useful for development and testing.

=item L<Plack::Session::Store::File>

This will persist session data in a file. By default it uses
L<Storable> but it can be configured to have a custom serializer and
deserializer.

=item L<Plack::Session::Store::Cache>

This will persist session data using the L<Cache> interface.

=item L<Plack::Session::Store::Null>

Sometimes you don't care about storing session data, in that case
you can use this noop module.

=head1 BUGS

All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
to cpan-RT.
