That gives you an iterator, not a session object.  And if pin is the 
primary key, it should use retrieve instead.

It also triggers a bug in perl caused by "my $foo = 1 if $bar" 
constructs.  Never assign to a lexical with a trailing if statement.

Make a method for it.

package My::Session;

sub find_by_pin {
     my ($class, $pin) = @_;
     return unless $pin;
     my ($session) = $class->search(pin => $pin);
     $session->last_active(time);
     $session->update();
     return $session;
}
