All of these modules propose an expiration mechanism, but they do not propose a mechanism to automatically destroy session at expiration (this is what I call a "callback" mechanism). This implies that the session destruction has to be called explicitly. We could imagine an interface where a callback is defined when a session is created For example, session_create(inactivity => 30, callback => sub{print "Session automagically destroyed";}) There would be no need to call a session_delete function !!
