It is very simple to change the code. Apache::Session is very modular, so
you can specify whihg Generator to use. Go to the Apache::Session source and
take a look at

Session/Generator/MD5.pm

Create a new similar module with your desired alogrithem and specify it as
Generatior in the Embperl config
