Yeah, I've had ambitions to do this for a long time, but not really a 
way to implement it gracefully.

OK, I have been working a couple of nights now to do this, and have been 
making some progress. But I seem to have difficulties with actually 
passing the tied hash, that is, making sure I pass the actually tied 
object, not just the data hash. 

I currently assign to pnotes like this:
    $r->pnotes(session => tied %session);
and the Plugin is where this is most important. 

Since most "methods" access this in some way, I created a little helper 
sub in the XSP:
sub _session {
    my %session = @_;
    my $r = Apache->request;
    if (defined(%session)) { 
        $r->pnotes(session => tied %session);
        return undef;
    } else {
        return %{ $r->pnotes("session") };
    }
}

When I call this, I seem to be getting a big data structure, with the 
data, blessed references to the data storage object, etc. 

But it is apparently not the tied object nevertheless as I'm 
subsequently doing 
    tied(%session)->delete;
and that stops with an error "Can't call method "delete" on an undefined 
value"...

I have tried a few different things, like return tied 
%{ $r->pnotes("session") };
but as one can probably guess, I really don't understand this... 

The latest version is checked into SVN, and can be seen on the URI in my 
initial email.

Would be nice, but there is some code in it I would have to figure out 
how to handle, it would be nice to just drop it if I can. 

Cheers,
