+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.
