Make a module and do everything there. There are some examples in the Apache::Session docs. You did read them didn't you. ;-) This code is untested of course, but you could use something like:

package MySession;

use strict;
use Apache::Session::Whatever;

sub new {
  my $self = bless( {}, shift };
  $self->init();
  return $self;
}

sub init {
  my $self = shift;
  my %session;
  tie %session, Apache::Session::Whatever, undef;
  $self->{session} = \%session;
  return $self->{session};
}

sub get_session {
  my $self = shift;
  return $self->{session};
}

sub close {
  my $self = shift;
  # Now properly untie the hash using the right method
  tied($self->{session})->close;
  untie($self->{session});
}

sub DESTROY {
  my $self = shift;
  $self->close();
}

Then in your app code just use the module and create a new object.

use MySession;

my $session = MySession->new()->get_session();

$session->{foo} = "bar";
$sesobj->close();
