There's a plugin that is designed for that:

http://search.cpan.org/~nuffin/Catalyst-Plugin-Session-DynamicExpiry-0.02/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Session/DynamicExpiry.pm

I'm not using it, but I looked at it in detail one day and had some
problems.  I think I posted a patch.  Yes, December 5th with the
subject Patch for Catalyst::Plugin::Session::DynamicExpiry

That's per process.
