Then package it up, send me the tarball, and I'll upload it to CPAN.
Repeatedly sending me patches isn't any more likely to get me to pay
attention to it.
Regarding Flex, nobody uses it. It is for debugging. If you have a
particular variant of Flex that you use all the time (very likely), you
can code up a 6-line module to make a real implementation like all the
other session modules.
Flex is for debugging, period.
Version 1.54 is uploaded to CPAN so go nuts.
