[Dancer-users] Custom Session Handler issues

[J. Bobby Lopez]

I took a look at the code you have for the CGISession implementation, it
looks fairly straight forward.

A couple of questions though:


   1. Does using Dancer::ModuleLoader->load('CGI::Session') mean that we
   should have access to all objects and methods exported by CGI::Session? For
   example, can I access CGI->self_url() somehow?
   2. Would I be able to access Dancer settings and variables form a
   sub-module?  E.g.:  Is there any way to access Dancer's 'cookies' or
   'session' info from a module, without having to pass them as arguments to my
   module?
