That's what I'm trying to explain.  You can either use the Storable
API to put your session into a string, and then write to a database
using standard DBI, or you can use a pre-built tool like CGI::Session.

To serialize your session to a string, you can do something like this:
use Storable qw(nfreeze);
$serialized = nfreeze \%session;

See the Storable docs for more.
