Sure, either of these things are easy to do once you know about them. My particular goal is finding a standard session mechanism for the Mason user community that's functional out of the box, well supported, and minimally confusing. Dave's MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession does go a long way towards this goal, but you still have to know about the various Apache::Session pitfalls. For now, I guess we focus on improving our documentation to help users avoid as many of these pitfalls as possible.
