Ok, I'll have to try and explain things better. I know how Apache::Session works and I know that it uses Storable to serialize data types to store in the database.

What I am trying to say, have you thought that using Apache::Session is maybe the best possible solution to your problem?

Looking at your documentation (and pointed out by Screamer) you can't use arbitrary data structures. I'm not sure where this limitation comes from but it means that you don't need the flexibility gained by using Storable.

From your PHP code, it seems that you have to exec a perl script every time you read or write a variable. This seems very inefficient to me.

I don't think it would be to hard, I had a quick look at the source for Apache::Session::MySQL and you can probably work from this and it's subclasses (reusing the one for locking etc) to create an Apache::Session module that doesn't use Storable.

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> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
