Yes, documentation of Apache::Session is not the best side of the module...
You have to take a look at the source on your own...

In normal scripts you create a session object and destroy it at the end of
your script. Embperl goes a differnt way. It uses the cleanup method of
HTML::Embperl::Session (which is a subclass of Apache::Session; in Embperl
1.2b11, older version had used different names, but the same code). The
cleanup method will make sure that all locks are released. It works, I use
it on my own. (DBIStore and SysVSemaphoeLocker, I don't have tried
DeamonLocker)
