That only works if the session id already exists. If the session id doesn't
exists, Apache::Session will throw an exception (die)
I run into the same problem with Embperl. I send a patch against
Apache::Session to Jeffery to allow this (and other things), but he didn't
incorporated it and instead created a separte class for it. Since it was
easier to maintain this class is now part of the Embperl distribution.
HTML::Embperl::Session is a sub class of Apache::Session and allows you to
specify the id, even if it doesn't already exists, along with a set of flags
what to do in various cases (create new one, if the id doesn't exists;
create the specified id or die)
