Hello all,

I seem to remember reading in this group, that you shouldn't stuff too
much data in $Session.  Why is this the case?  Is is simply performance,
and if so how much data can I store in here reasonably.

The reason that I ask is this:

I tend to develop using OO, and was wondering if there are any
ramifications of generating a reasonably complex object (hash structure
with references to array references and other hash structures, probably
about 30K of data) and simply storing the pointer to this in the $Session
object.

Now when the script actually finishes, does the $Session object in it's
entirity get dumped to the state directory (I'm assuming that this is the
case) or does my complex object get kept in memory until the $Session
object expires; when the $Session object is destroyed, there will be no
more references to my object and hence it should be garbage collected.

Any shedding of light on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Chris.
