[Catalyst] Problem storing session data

[Peter Sørensen]

Hi,

I use session to store output between calls and have some serious problem with this. I still
fairly new to Catalyst.

I have the following defined

use Catalyst qw/-Debug
		      ConfigLoader
			Static::Simple
			Session
			Session::State::Cookie
			Session::Store::FastMmap
			FastMmap::Cache/;


I store output from an array  in one controller method like:

  ( I have a module which returns a ref to an array with output )  

      my $search = new SearchLog(
				SearchInfo => $searchInfo,
				SearchPath => ' some path',
				TimeFrame => { timefrom => ....  , $timeto => ....}
	};

      $tableout = $search->processRegex(...)

In short it takes a generated Regex and use this to extract information from the logfile.
This operation is time consuming and I want to save the output generated.


	$c->session->{tableout} = $tableout;

and restore this in another controller method like:

      $tableout = $c->session->{tableout};

This is working when output is fairly small but if I use a bigger TimeFrame and generate a
far bigger output table it fails.

I have tried to increase the cache_size like:

__PACKAGE__->config->{session => {
				storage => '/tmp/session'.$$,
				cache_size => '10m',
				expires => 3600
				}
};

This changes nothing. So now my question:

I this the right way to store internmediate output or should I use a different approach?

If right - does anyone know why I have this problem?


Regards and thanks
