[Melbourne-pm] Looking for a Perl consult... problem with sessions

Appears to be using Apache::Session somewhere in there and sounds a lot
like permission issues.

Have you recently moved the site to a new environment or upgraded the host
OS?

Can you grep the Perl source for the application for "Apache::Session" and
grab the chunk of related code?
