[Catalyst] Session example from Tutorial.pod doesn't work?

The docs in Tutorial.pod didn't seem to indicate that something other than login() was needed. I got the impression that login() was hooked into by a plugin and would then start by looking at the session, but I now see that wasn't the case.

The tutorial (like any doc) has several little errors and confusions. I'll be glad to add my editorial input, but should probably be better versed with Catalys first. :)
