I recall this being discussed before. I think it would be reasonable for
find() not to update _SESSION_ATIME, so patching CGI::Session to behave
that way could be a clean solution.

Either that, or pay more attention in your application to _SESSION_MTIME
instead, which would indicate that something actually changed in the
session.
