Well, yeah.  When you undef it, you destroy the session.  You don't even
have a hash to write to anymore.  It will save what you had, but you'll
have to go and open it again if you want to use it.  You shouldn't need to
do this anyway, since I think Apache::Session does an immediate save when
you create a new session.

Whay are you worried about the lock files?  Have you had a problem with
them lingering?

Incidentally, if you're using a database for storage you don't need to do
additional locking.  Just use NullLocker.
