in reply to Apache::Session::MySql using a_session

You don't mess with the database directly, but rather use the tie magic in the Apache::Session module, which is called by Apache::Session::MySql.

It is as easy as declaring a hash, tieing this hash to an Apache::Session::MySql-object and the data in the hash are silently and transparently persisted into the database.

Have a look at the docs in Apache::Session which are very clear.
