Noneed for a seperate routine IMO - just use:
my $data = $ses->data();
It's clear and concise.
Ok. That's your opinion.

You shouldn't need to check the existance except when loading the session file, which is when you create a new session object anyway and so can check for errors. If you already have a session object then that means the session is valid, otherwise new() would have returned an error.
When as you say "you create a new session object anyway", unfortunately a new session file is created anyway, even if you just want session checking. I found no solution to avoid creating new session file, when you create new session object.
The only solution is independent of the module: (-e "$session_path/$session_id")
That's what I currently use.

Did you try this out?...it doesn't actually create a new redundant session file.
Yes of course I tried out, otherwise I wouldn't post that thread.

If you pass in id => $id then it loads the existing session file and updates the directory path at the same time.
But if session file doesn't exist, will create a new session file.

Quote:
Mmm no it's not a bug, if you are priting out the session object, then of course $DIRECTORY won't be shown because it's not part of the object, it's a global scalar.
Doesn't really matter how we name it. Anyway, it would help finding problems, when I do debugging using Dumper. I would logically await the actual value of $DIRECTORY as 'directory' key value.

However I better worry about the fact that new session is created, when I want to check a non-existant session.

I use several non-GT modules, which may affect how this module works, and *may* cause the problem (e.g. CGI.pm).
