Hi Aran,<br>
did you look at <span>Plack::Session if you want something decoupled from Catalyst?<br>
I haven't used it so far as I don't require sessions that are shared with non-Catalyst stuff but it might be a better base for a futureproof session module.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hey guys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been working on a project which is a (mostly) drop in replacement for Catalyst::Plugin::Session. Here are the GitHub repos:</div>
<div><br>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The manual is a good place to start:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starch/blob/master/lib/Web/Starch/Manual.pod" target="_blank">https://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starch/blob/master/lib/Web/Starch/Manual.pod</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm using this @work and will be deploying it to production, replacing Catalyst::Plugin::Session, sometime next week if all goes well this week.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've not put these modules on CPAN yet as I'd love some feedback before I do so. I want to make sure the module names, the interfaces, and just the entire design are acceptable to people. I want this to be a real step forward.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>@work we've made extensive use of Catalyst::Plugin::Sesssion for years now, and related modules such as Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. So far everything has "just worked" when I replaced Catalyst::Plugin::Session with Catalyst::Plugin::Starch.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Why do this?</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Catalyst::Plugin::Session (C:P:S) is slower in NYTProf reports than I would expect it to be.
</li><li>C:P:S is tied into Catalyst. This is unnecessary. Catalyst should be used to glue things together, not as a platform to build whole technologies on. By decoupling sessions from Catalyst many wins can be had in reusability and unit testing (etc?).
</li><li>C:P:S can be difficult and messy to extend. This is partly due to how Catalyst plugins work, but also due to the design of C:P:S.
</li></ul>
