Hi jeteve,

I use Mason for almost everything I write to web. The way I usually do this is by passing the session variable as parameter to the $m->call_next(session=>$session);

However, I don't use <%init>, <%once>, <%cleanup> or <%filter> (I used <%filter> once). The main reason I don't use them is that the code turn into a less predictable code.

For instance, in this code: 
<%cleanup>
print "Cleanup";
</%cleanup>
<%init>
print "Init"; #This is an alias to $m->out();
</%init>
<%filter>
print "Filter";
</%filter>
<%perl>
print "Perl";
</%perl>
<%once>
print "Once";
</%once>

Can anyone say which of the blocks will be called first? I don't, and don't want to be always looking for the next (or previous) code block, so I just use (most of the time) the <%perl> and <%args>. You can do everything you need using just this too, and your code is a lot more linear.

For situations identical to yours, my code usually looks like (in the autohandler): 
<%perl>
my $session=$m->comp('/mason/session/session.mas');

$m->call_next(session=>$session);

$m->comp('/mason/session/session.mas', action=>'save', session=>$sessi
+on);
</%perl>

Hope this helps you.
