But how do you run your Mason code?  Are you using the Apache handler?
Maybe something in there behaves differently Apache 2.  I haven't looked
at it closely.

It shouldn't.  Are you seeing any errors in the log about MySQL?

Usually that means you have a scoping problem where the session doesn't
go out of scope.  Keeping it in a global would definitely prevent it
from going out of scope unless you are explicitly undef'ing it somewhere
or calling the save() method on the tied object.

You also seem to be setting values two levels down, which doesn't work
unless you set something at the top level too, as it says in the
Apache::Session documentation.  Try just setting something like this:
$session{_update} = 1;
