Not sure if this is the best way, but I provide a way to enable
session cookies via a checkbox.  So I override finailize_cookies:


    # Use a non-persistent cookie if login_temp was checked
    local $c->config->{session}{cookie_expires} = 0
        if $c->session->{session_cookie};


    $c->NEXT::finalize_cookies( @_ );

where the "session_cookie" is my flag set in my login action.

I don't really use that code as I've moved to always using session
cookies for login.
