I don't find having Session::State::URI enabled for the whole 
app to be a problem. What is your concern about having it? If 
it's because of the URL rewriting, then just add 
no_rewrite_if_cookie to your session config.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, copy what 
Session::State::URI (or Session::State::Cookie) does for 
restoring the session. Or just subclass Session::State::URI and 
make it a noop for all except a couple of selected actions.
