Now this is going against my previous statement of wanting to avoid redundancy...but would it be a bad idea just to roll my own that uses independent database columns per each session parameter? (save the actual ->param() method, those could be grouped together as an AoH or something in one column) Because as it stands, it seems like generating the MD5 session id, creating an expire method, deleting sessiongs, etc. on my own would be a lot simpler than scratching my head over either Apache::Session or CGI::Session.

Am I going crazy or does this sound reasonable?

meh.
