Part of the problem leoncharre is that everybody uses CGI::Session differently. As perrin said, you can just use Storable and look at the file, but then you need to know what you are looking for! And you need to know what you put in there. Storable is fast and full of goodness, but it doesn't work for every situation.

We have one instance where we use a single session database shared between three Web-apps. So for that we need to use the database - typically MySQL. The real fun part is that we can, of course, have the different apps on different machines that way. But I think the reason you haven't seen any modular code is because in reality very few people need to peer into the session data for any reason. If you do it is likely that your requirements will be more than minimal and you would need to craft it yourself anyway.
