The Catalyst session plugins on CPAN use URI::Find to detect links, thus 
they will only find complete URIs with scheme ("http://") and domain 
name. This is not very usefull, because typically only external links 
have this format, but only internal links need a session id.

I'd suggest using HTML::Parser for link retrieval instead.

That also came to my mind when I was writing a Catalyst session plugin 
on top of Apache::Session::Counted, but since A::S::C requires session 
ids in the URI and always stores on disk I didn't put effort on this.
