This never "expires" sessions from the hash "logged_in". The following
hack would at least help there:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1;
my %logged_in;
my $session_ttl = 3600;
my $time = time();

while(<>) {
  if ((!defined($logged_in{$_}) ||
      ($logged_in{$_} + $session_ttl > $time)) {
    $logged_in{$_} = $time;
    print "ERR\n";
  } else {
    print "OK\n";
  }
}

No promises that it won't set your hair on fire, or scratch your CD's, etc.

That's very odd. I have no insight here, I just find it odd.
