Hi, my name is Yuval Kogman. You may know me from modules such as
Catalyst::Plugin::Session and Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. As
the author of these modules I fully endorse the above comments
<wink/>.

Seriously though, PerUser was meant to make it trivial to migrate a
guest session to a full model. Once you need data associated with a
user then keep it with the user, don't create too many levels of
indirection. The tools I wrote are filled with features that might
be useful under certain scenarios, and admittedly they push the
boundries of what is sometimes sane. I think this is valuable for
during-development hacks, but that's no replacement for a fully
thought out solution that is easy to maintain and understand.

Cheers,
