Okay, first off $session{userid} is not set anywhere in your sample code, and unless you're setting it somewhere else it will never get set to anything.

Second, there is no concept of "loggin in" and "logging out" in this code. It assigns anyone who comes along a cookie with a session ID, and creates backend storage for that session. It never makes any attempt to delete anything from the database. Are you talking about some other code that you didn't post?

There is a session ID, $session{_session_id}. Is that what you're talking about?

Note that Apache::Session stores all data as a BLOB serialized by Storable, so removing a value from the session should not cause anything to be deleted from the database, it would just update the row for that session. Values are not stored as separate rows.
