We're having preplexing problems with Apache::Session. This may not be the right place to ask an application-type question, but if you know where I need to go please tell me. This is more of a "real life" problem, for sure.

We find that Apache::Session session manager does not do any locking. It seems that when requests take longer under load, replies to users within sessions start to get chopped off by requests and session start to break.

We have tried Lock::File, Lock::MySQL etc but of course they are being ignored.

It seems likely we are using this code incorrectly, but we have racked our brains and problems are ongoing and serious for a very high-volume web run on as I speak.
