Really?  I thought you wanted a factory that produced URI(.pm) objects
specifically?  Well, anyway, I added a way to set the default query param
separator last night (0.021), which you might find handy. And if you don't
like the name, you can always subclass:

    package My::URI;
    use base qw(Rose::URI);
    __PACKAGE__->default_query_param_separator(';');
    1;

Anyway...

What format is the form_data()?  Is it really specific to "forms" or would
any old hash be fine?

But since you're wrapping (and exposing, through session()) Apache::Session,
and since it uses the Apache:: namespace, I think you kind of have to as
well.

    Apache::Session::MessageManager
    Apache::Session::Form::MessageManager

Not great.  What are other session wrappers named like?
