I have just downloaded your Apache::Session-0.15.

I have found two minor problems with it:

1.) You have missed to increment the version number in Session.pm. Should be
0.15, but it is 0.14. The problem with this is that CPAN.pm will not install
the new version, because it thinks the version is already installed. You
need to use "force install Apache::Session" then it works with CPAN.pm also.

2.) The test script I send you works as a standalone script. That means it
must be named 'test.pl' and reside in the main directory of Apache::Session
not in the 't' subdirectory. If it's in the t subdirectory it will be run
via Test::Harness when you type 'make test'. Test::Harness expects another
output on STDOUT, so it simply thinks the tests have failed, also everything
runs fine.
So either move your ./t/test.t to ./test.pl or read perldoc Test::Harness
and modify the output of test.t accordingly.


Also it would be fine if the is any documentation of the new TIE interface
to Apache::Session. How should people new that it's there and use it, when
there is no documentation? If you don't have the time to write the docs on
your own let me know and I write them for you. Then you only have to do a
proof read due to my bad english.

Yes, I will include a persistent data storage in Embperl by using
Apache::Session in one of the next releases.
