Apache::Session question

My implementation of Apache::Session::MySQL dies along the way, and
gives
unclear warning.
[error] Died at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm
line 40.

I decided to implement session as a module call Store::Session, so as to
minimize recoding it in many script.

What does your session id have in it? Is this error produced on the
initial construction of the session (aka first request) or on subsequent
requests? It appears that the error you are receiving is because the
session id is either empty or contains a non-alphanumeric character.
Try printing the session id before calling the constructor to see if
there is something in it that shouldn't be

Why do you have the session reference commented out, your %session goes
out of scope immediately following this method and no longer has any
referents so will no longer be available, which could be part of your
problem. You may want to just remove the 'return' completely as 'tie'
will return the referent, and assuming there is nothing after your 'tie'
then it will be the last expression in the sub and will be returned
automagically.

See if that helps, if not come back...
