Yes, Apache::Session doesn't do a deep check to see if you have changed
referenced thingies.

You can still force a write in a more elegant way than you describe. 
Just set the state flags on the session object:

tied(%$session)->make_modified;

When you untie the session it will be saved.  Or your could explicitly
save it yourself:

tied(%$session)->make_modified;
tied(%$session)->save;

I'll update the docs.

Cheers,
Jeffrey
