OLD STUFF: redhat 5.2, 2.0.36 kernel, 1.3.6 apache, 1.21 mod_perl,
perl 5.005_02, apache session 1.04 and a storable of 0.63, embperl 1.2.b10,
file system sessions and locking data.
NEW STUFF: redhat 5.2, 2.0.36 kernel, 1.3.26 apache, 1.27 mod_perl,
perl 5.6.1, apache session 1.54, apache sessionX 2.00b3, storable of
2.05, embperl 1.3.4, file system sessions and locking data..
i am trying to update my server to the lastest and greatest from the
oldest and moldiest. the data in my current file based session
system is very important to me, and i cannot just dump it and create
a new pristine session system.
i am having two separate problems.
1) the sessions keys for the new sessions are twice as long as the
old ones. generally, this is a good thing, but i am concerned that
the old session data will not get read when the cookie is submitted.
will the old sessions get read and reused, read and new ones created,
totally ignored? obviously i would test this, but can't because of problem #2.
2) i cannot read the old session data with the new session modules.
when i try to read them by doing:
/usr/local/httpd/perl561/bin/perl -e 'use Storable qw(thaw); use Data::Dumper;
open(FIL,"</u3/sessions/01aef30dddbf0747") || die "file"; undef $/; my $frozen=<FIL>;
my
$thawed=thaw($frozen); print Dumper \$thawed;'
yields the following error message:
Storable binary image v56.115 more recent than I am (v2.5) at
blib/lib/Storable.pm
(autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) line 364, <FIL> chunk 1, at -e line 1
i already tried googling and posting to perl5-porters. i did not find help in either
arena.
if anyone has a clue on this i would appreciate it. below are dumps of perl -V as
well
as a dump of the initial part of the session data.
thanks in advance!
