A simple Template::Plugin::Session plugin can be created (BTW this was my
initial purpose) and I'll do.
However Apache::SessionManager is more than a simple Apache::Session
wrapper because it handles for you the cookie/URI session tracking management
of a web application.
Then I propose these modules:
- Template::Plugin::Apache::SessionManager the TT2 wrapper around
Apache::SessionManger
- Template::Plugin::Session the TT2 simple wrapper around Apache::Session,
without Apache name, to avoid historical CPAN namespace error :-)
So, if you want use TT2 with Apache, you should use directly T::P::A::SM
instead of T::P::S without reinvent the wheel!
Moreover I think that Template::Plugin::Apache::* namespace should be used,
in the future, for all TT2 plugins that does require mod_perl.

I can do it.

Yes, It's better to continue the thread (about code) on the TT2 list! :-)
Thanks for your interest
