How to enable Debian to automatically clear the tmp directory

I have been searching for a way to have Debian automatically remove files in the /tmp directory after a period of time. We need it mainly for removing old session files that grow quite rapidly (a rate of 10 per second). I am hoping Debian has a built in utility, otherwise a package will suffice if not a simple bash script. Thanks for your input.
