Ok so Iam working on this small mod_perl project. This project requires me to use cookies to maintain session info, but very small session info such as username,password,time of login. now usally I would do this
by just creating a string with a delimiter and using that as the cookies value. But as I was sitting there I realized
it would be really cool if I just serialized an array as my cookie value and then just used it on every sessions use. Now mind you I havent had much use for serializing data in perl so I might be wroung in the entire idea but here is some basic code to give an example as to what Iam doing.
use Storable qw(nfreeze thaw);
sub make_cookie {
return($q->cookie(
-name=>'sessionID',
-value=>unpack("H*",nfreeze(['1245','foo','foopass'])),
-expire=>'+10m',
-secure=>0
));
}
sub see_cookie {
return(@{thaw(pack("H*",$_[0]))});
}
I think that this idea should work, but Iam getting an error
from storable saying "Magic number checking on storable string failed etc etc ..". would anyone care to shed a little light on my situation?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
