I'm sure the issue of namespace will be won out by whomever submits to CPAN first ;), but there's already a module of the same name included in the cgi-app-login project (an extension for cookie auths).
Update: 2002/03/01 - looks like the cgi-app-login project has gone AWOL ... URL returns a 404. :/

Thanks for the link - As it is, I'm not overly interested in uploading this code to CPAN given its very alpha state. One thing though that did make me shudder looking at that other code was the hand-rolled flat-text file session storage with no locking or concurrency considerations - I was aware of some of the issues involved in such an engine and opted for Apache::Session and the multiple backends that it offers instead (effectively side-stepping the issue to a great extent within my own code).
As it is, I am working on integrating this session control into a more flexible framework that allows for pre- and post- processing of control in addition to some of the features already offered by other session and state CGI frameworks.
