=head1 NAME

Apache::Session::MySQL - An implementation of Apache::Session

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Apache::Session::MySQL;
 
 #if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:
 
 tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
    DataSource => 'dbi:mysql:sessions',
    UserName   => $db_user,
    Password   => $db_pass,
    LockDataSource => 'dbi:mysql:sessions',
    LockUserName   => $db_user,
    LockPassword   => $db_pass
 };

 #or, if your handles are already opened:

 tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
    Handle     => $dbh,
    LockHandle => $dbh
 };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is an implementation of Apache::Session.  It uses the MySQL backing
store and the MySQL locking scheme.  See the example, and the documentation for
Apache::Session::Store::MySQL and Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL for more
details.
