Session timeouts

  Hey guys.  I've used EMBPERL_COOKIE_EXPIRES to expire cookies, but in 
some instances I would also like to expire sessions based on inactivity, 
not an arbitrary time limit.  I'm not spotting the best way to do this.  
Any way to do this in embperl, or apache, or Apache::Session settings?


Thanks,

Lars

Store an initial "time" in %udat and on each request compare if the 
actual time - initial time > maximum time and them timeout or not the 
session.
