Again looks perfectly reasonable to me :)

Apologies if I wasn't being clear perviously - could you convert your  
suggested changes and test into a diff against the distribution which  
someone could just apply with patch, rather than having to fiddle  
around copying chunks of code out of email?

Agreed.

If you'd like to include TODO tests for that in the patch (or just  
fix it, with no TODO in the test), then that would be fantastic.

As you've probably seen from the mailing list already, there are a  
couple of pending patches on Catalyst-Plugin-Session already:

http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/branches/Catalyst-Plugin- 
Session/

It's easier to merge patches than chunks of changed code, but I think  
it's pretty open-season on getting niggles fixed in the Session  
plugin at the moment.  :)
