BUGS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

       o   Old expired sessions files must be deleted with an example provided script : "delete_session_data.pl"

       o   Apache::Session::Wrapper certainly need Apache2::Cookie

       o   $r must be global for sessions with Apache::Session::Wrapper, add

	     PerlOptions +GlobalRequest

	   in your virtualhost conf

       o   Apreq module must be enable in debian

	     a2enmod apreq

	   or add

	     LoadModule apreq_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_apreq2.so

	   in your apache configuration file

       Please submit any bug reports to agostini@univ-metz.fr.
