[dancer-users] template() creates the session

Hi, in a Dancer application I have sessions turned on in config.yml If the route calls template(), the session is created and the cookie is sent. If I just "return 42" from the route without calling template(), the session is not created, cookie is not sent. I can force-create the session and the cookie by calling session('anything') but I was wondering, is this behavior (that it is template() that sets the cookie) on purpose? regards Gabor
