Be careful, many other things could go wrong in that first eval (no 
database running, incorrect password, etc.).  You'd be better off 
checking $@ and only doing the next part if you see that it's an error 
about the session not existing yet.

You could also just hack it a little to avoid this issue, probably by 
changing Apache::Session::Store code.
