But the perl code shows that it doesn't work. For example Store/DBI.pm in
the function materialize die's when it doesn't find the row with the id you
given in the database. It's the same for other Stores.

it overrides the the TIEHASH method in Session.pm. It wasn't too hard, but I
don't have a patch for Session.pm that comes with Apache::Session 1.53, but
you can simply use HTML::Embperl::Session instead of Apache::Session, which
works with Apache::Session 1.00 and 1.5x and which should work also outside
of Embperl.
perldoc HTML::Embperl::Session
shows the additional attributes you can pass to tie. The rest remains the
same as with Apache::Session.
