=head1 NAME

CGI::Session::ID::static - CGI::Session ID Driver for generating static IDs

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use CGI::Session;
    $session = new CGI::Session("id:static", $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR});

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CGI::Session::ID::static is used to generate consistent, static session
ID's. In other words, you tell CGI::Session ID you want to use, and it will honor it.

Unlike the other ID drivers, this one requires that you provide an ID when creating
the session object; if you pass it an undefined value, it will croak.
