This problem has been reported several times.

This is because the DBIStore insert the encoded session data as
binary data. PostgreSQL doesn't like that. You have to modify
Apache::Session::DBIStore (or better implement a PGStore)
to uuencode the session data. You can use for that MIME::Base64
or better yet
pack( "u*" ) and unpack ( "u*" ).
I have a Apache::Session::DBIUUStore that does just that
and that I use for similar reason. I also added a last_update
field to the table which tracks the last update to the session
data. Email me if you want it. (Available on perl licensing terms)
Hope this helps.
