FAQ
The docs say that so long as you don't touch udat, a session won't be
created. Then they are more specific and say so long as you don't
*write* to udat one won't be created. I just want to make sure that
reading udat doesn't cause a cookie to be created (or hit the
database). I think that's the case, but I just wanted to double
check. Otherwise I can do what I do when I want to write to udat
only if it already exists:
$session = tied %$udat;
return undef if (!$session); # I don't think this happens
$sessid = $session->getid();
return undef if (!$sessid); # Won't create a session id


I'm trying to make sure that my site doesn't gratuitously create
cookies until there's actually something that the user wants us to
remember.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.

    id

    $session->getid() will never create a new session if it not already exists

    That I'm clear on. But will
    $a = $udat{foo};
    create a new session?

    This will not send a session cookie, but (if I remeber correct), it wil
    create a session in your session store. So actualy no session for the user
    is created, just some space is wasted.
