The couple of times I've tried working with Class::DBI, I found that
it was quite noticably slow compared with doing the same thing via SQL
+ DBI. I think that could be a problem with something like sessions
that tend to get run on every request.

On a related note, have you looked at Apache::Session? I've read
somewhere that it doesn't actually depend on mod_perl as the name
would imply.
