It would be better if you don't instantiate the session until someone asks for it the first time. That will prevent unnecessary work. Also, when using Apache::Session with any locking module except NullLocker, it's very important to have the session object exist for the shortest possible time because it is locking out all other access to that session while it exists. (For this reason, it's also very important to make sure that requests for images and other static objects don't instantiate Apache::Session objects.) > After some search on CPAN I haven't found a mod_perl module that does > the same thing (right?). Some of the Apache::Auth* modules like Apache::AuthCookieURL are close, but I don't know of any that do the actual glue with Apache::Session. You might want to look at some of the existing modules and see if a merge of some kind is possible. - Perrin
