[cgiapp] Announce: Data::Session - A re-write of CGI::Session

[Mark Stosberg]

First, a thanks to Ron for this release. As a maintainer of
CGI::Session, I welcome the appearance of a similar module that drops a
lot of the backwards-compatibility baggage that has accumulated in
CGI::Session, like global variables and some of the aliases for variable
names.

If you are satisfied with CGI::Session, you can stay with it, as Ron
says. If you are starting a new project, it's worth considering
Data::Session as an updated take on the same idea.
