I haven't ever seen anything like that.

You could probably do it in an Autoload that would look for that scratch 
variable in the session and remove it if the last session access was 
longer ago than you want to keep.

There's a $Session->{time} variable, but that will probably already have 
been updated by the time you read it. So you may need to store the time 
alongside the scratch variable yourself and then subtract to see how old 
it is.
