i found them very easy, once you read the documentation. its only two
variables: EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASSES and EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS, both of
which are explained in detail (with examples) in the Apache::Session
and HTML::Embperl man pages. The problem is of course, that you can
write all the documentation you want, but people still won't read it.

where you using a DSO or static mod_perl? what version? where you
loading embperl at server startup? there are several gotchas with all
this that are mentioned in the embperl manpage.
The problems i've been reporting (DeleteSession, GetSession, etc) are
features thata were only added a beta version or two ago.. i think its
perfectly acceptable for them to have a few bugs in some extreme
cases. so far gerald has fixed each of them within a day.
something which i don't think everyone realises is the contortions
that gerald goes through to support Apache::Session 0.17, 1.0x and 1.5
- each of which has quite a different api. as far as i can tell, it
all works too, which is much better backward compatibility than i
would ever have asked for.

well duh. the equivalent of this statement is "I believe Perl does its
own session handling" which is also true.
