From the Apache::Session docs:
"Note that Apache::Session does only a shallow check to see if anything
has changed. If nothing changes in the top level tied hash, the data
will not be updated in the backing store. You are encouraged to
timestamp the session hash so that it is sure to be updated."
So in your loop you are updating the nested structure under 'config' but
nothing at the top level of the hash. To have it stored you would have
to update a key or value of $session.
