in thread Judiciously avoiding DESTROY method for CGI::Session clobber prevention

That's certainly doable. But I'd like to be able to take $instance and vanquish $instance without having to change the class code; for example, I'd like to avoid the possibility of nonorthogonality to other possible uses of the CGI::Session code in my mod_perl instance.

I have the inkling there may be something like this in the guts of Perl's OO code.

    There is, if you are sure it's what you want. 
    my $instance;
...
if (want to disable destroy) {
   package My::Private::DESTROYless::CGI::Session;
   sub DESTROY { }
   @ISA = 'CGI::Session';
   bless $instance;
}
