This code works for me when used with (now-deprecated)
before.

I recall difficulties getting documentated examples
to work as advertised.


post '/login' => sub {
	if ( validation_succeeds() )
    {
        session user => params->{user};
        my $path = session->{requested_path} || '/';
        session requested_path => undef;
        session failed_login => undef;
        redirect $path;

     } 
     else 
     {

		session failed_login => 1;
		redirect '/login'
     }          

HTH,
