Very simple code example. As I understand it, Apache::Session::x will enable you to tie a hash to either a file, memory, or database. when you put something in that hash it should be represented in the datasource somehow. When I run the following code, Apache-Session-xxxxx.lock is created but it is empty. I don't understand why. When I try to a seperate piece of code to extract the info from that file (by tieing) another hash to that file, the hash is empty (except for the _session_id). 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use Apache::Session::File;
use Data::Dumper;
my $session_id = undef;

my %session;
my $opts = { Directory => '/tmp', LockDirectory => '/tmp', Transaction
+ => 0 };

tie %session, 'Apache::Session::File', $session_id, $opts;

$session{name} = 'me';
$session{hello} = 'bye';
