=head1 NAME
Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64 - Use Storable and MIME::Base64
to zip up persistent data
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64;
$zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::serialize($ref);
$ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Base64::unserialize($zipped);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session.
It serializes the data in the session object by use of Storable's
C<nfreeze()> and C<thaw()> functions, and MIME::Base64's C<encode_bas64>
and C<decode_base64>. The serialized data is ASCII text, suitable for
storage in backing stores that don't handle binary data gracefully, such
as Postgres.
