=head1 NAME
-Maypole::Constants - Maypole predefined constants
+Maypole::Session - Session related functionality for maypole
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This class provides session related methods for Maypole such as unique id's for requests.
-=head1 METHODS
+Currently it provides only the generate_unique_id() function, by checking the id's generated by this function and included in submitted forms, it is possible to see if a form has been submitted before.. implementing these checks is left to the developer of that application.
+
+Further functionality is to be added here in later versions to provide easy access to sessions, either through plugins or builtin methods.
