In Perl 5, CGI::Session is one solution that feels this gap well. In frameworks like CGI::Application, sessions can be integrated so they are apart of the of the same object anyway: self.query <-- CGI.pm object self.session <-- CGI::Session object. As far as I'm aware, no work on CGI::Session for Perl 6 has started yet. I'm sure there will be some things that would be nice to change about it as well, as it currently has some features only for backwards compatibility. Mark
