I don't know about touchy so much as frustrated. Apache::Session is very widely used but it doesn't feel well supported. Comparing it to DBI or mod_perl seems a bit silly. It is not as widely used as either and is far less complex. My big concern is that there is a fatal error in Apache::Session::Flex that makes it completely unusable. You've known about this for at least 9-12 months but you haven't bothered to release a simple bugfix release for it. Its a 3-4 line change! The only way around it is to constantly patch my local copies or use a hack work-around code which subclasses Flex to fix the populate method. This is stupid. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel or tell people not to use Apache::Session, but its getter harder to avoid either. If you have other things on your mind, that's fine. That's why I suggested you should consider letting someone else maintain it. I know I'm not the only person frustrated by the current state of affairs. -dave /*================== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==================*/
