Package: libuser-simple-perl (1.45-2.1)

module for simple user sessions management

User::Simple provides a very simple framework for validating users, managing their sessions and storing a minimal set of information (this is, a meaningful user login/password pair and the user's name) via a database. The sessions can be used as identifiers for i.e. cookies on a Web system. The passwords are stored as MD5 hashes (this means, the password is not stored in clear text).

User::Simple was originally developed with a PostgreSQL database in mind, but should work with any DBI handle, be it from a real database (i.e. PostgreSQL, Firebird, MySQL) or from a file-based one (DBD::CSV, DBD::XBase, DBD::DBM, etc.)
