Hello, Monks. I use a CGI::Application and want to use a session. I know about session plugin, but I have some trouble. When I get $self->session a plugin creates a new session, but I do not need any sessions until user logged in. For example, I do this to check user 
unless ($self->session->param('user_id'))
{
    $self->prerun_mode('login');
}

When a user simply looks at FAQ, or login page, or help page the cgiapp creates a session, but I do not need it. Usually I do something like this in other projects: 
my $s = CGI::Session->load("driver:mysql", 
    undef, 
    {
        DataSource  => "dbi:mysql:$DB_Name",
        User        => $DB_User,
        Password    => $DB_Pass 
    });

$app->redirect() if ($s->is_empty);

In this case I create session only after login 
$s = $s->new;
$s->param('user_id', $user->id);

Is it possible to work with CGI::Application::Plugin::Session such as CGI::Session method load()?
