Dancer Session timeout

Boldra has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm writing my first Dancer app (not impressed so far, it's opaque to profilers), and I've just discovered that my Dancer::Session::Storable sessions are blocking. There's no warnings, but some session reads are taking 30 seconds, slowing down the whole application.

I've tried a couple of other session plugins, but they had other problems (YAML sessions would occasionally vanish, PSGI sessions don't seem to save anything). Storable seemed to be the most stable, but maybe there is something general going on? I'm only having this problem in my production environment, not in development.

Grateful for any ideas.

it's opaque to profilers Have you seen Plack::Middleware::Debug::Profiler::NYTProf? Improve your skills with Modern Perl: the free book.	[reply]

I hadn't seen that - thanks - it's convenient, fast and pretty. I added a sleep to Dancer::_session(), but NYTProf still isn't showing any of them, so the opacity remains.	[reply]

Check the difference between your development.yml and production.yml files.	[reply]

Thanks for your ideas, but I think that a problem which I can't reliably reproduce when running the entire app in development isn't going to lend itself to a code snippet demonstrating the problem. It's an intermittant problem. If I had a technique to narrow it down to a code snippet, it would no longer be a problem.	[reply]
