=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows a user to load his session information
This module provides an interface to everything2.com's search interface. It inherits L<E2::Ticker|E2::Ticker>.
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=over
=item new
C<new> creates an C<E2::Session> object.
=back
=head1 METHODS
=over
=item $session-E<gt>clear
This method clears all stored session values.
=item $session-E<gt>update
This method fetches the personal session from e2 and makes available all of the access methods below. If a user is not logged in, the only session information fetched will be the servertime (retrievable via C<time>) and this user's username and user_id (retrievable via C<this_username> and C<this_user_id>, which are inherited from E2::Interface).
C<xpchange> and C<nextlevel> are only available if the user's writeup count or experience number has changed since the user's session was last loaded. C<update> works very much like the epicenter nodelet on E2, and "last loaded" refers to either updating the session or loading a web page that contains the epicenter.
One other side-effect of calling update (or loading the epicenter) is that a user who's been borged must do so at least once, after the length of his borging has expired, before he will be able to speak again.
=item $session-E<gt>votes
=item $session-E<gt>cools
=item $session-E<gt>experience
=item $session-E<gt>writeups
=item $session-E<gt>time
These methods return the user's number of votes left today, number of cools left today, their current experience number, their current number of writeups, and the current server time. Example server time:
"Sun Mar 16 15:58:20 2003".
=item $session-E<gt>borged
=item $session-E<gt>forbidden
These methods return values corresponding, respectively, to whether the current user has been borged and whether the current user has been forbidden to post writeups. Both return boolean values, but C<forbidden>, if true, is a text string describing the lock.
=item $session-E<gt>xpchange
This method returns the user's change in experience since that previous time he updated his user session (or loaded an epicenter nodelet). It is only defined if either the user's experience number or writeup count has changed since the previous update.
=item $session-E<gt>nextlevel
This method returns information about requirements the user must meet to reach the next level. It is only defined if either the user's experience number or writeup count has changed since the previous update (either by a call to C<update> or by loading the epicenter nodelet).
This method returns a hashref with the following keys:
experience # Extra experience required to level up
writeups # Extra writeups required to level up
level # The next level as an integer
