Is there a module for getting / setting a Session-ID

Dear All

Is there a (CPAN) module for transparently setting/getting a Session id
from a client:

i.e. If they are using cookies set and send a Session ID (shortish
expiration time) and optionally a User ID (cookie with a long expiration
time).

If cookies are off then use URL mangling to store a Session ID (no need
for a User ID as we would not be able to identify a revisit accurately
..).

These ID's could then be used with Apache::Session to store the data
....

If not why - does everyone roll thier own ? or are there issues that are
not obvious ? Would any be interested in one ?

Thanks Jeff.

I've some code based on parts of the state section - speifically the
ideas of URL mungling.

The mod_perl eagle book has a good section on saving state information
using session ids. And it's not necessarily mod_perl based.
