I have no idea why this module needs to exist at all - surely you can  
plug CHI directly into Catalyst::Plugin::Cache, which is much more  
flexible as you can have multiple cache backends..

I'd also guess that you don't need to write a  
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::CHI, as you could use  
Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to attach CHI as a model, and  
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::Delegate to delegate to it, without  
in any way contributing to the profusion of copy and pasted modules  
with 4 lines of copied code in them which litter CPAN :-/

Please try this approach out (and even better - write it up in the  
wiki!), and patches very welcome on any of the session stuff to make  
it play for you if that proves to be needed. :_)

Cheers
