The issue was that I had removed 'libcache-fastmmap-perl' (Debian Etch)
and installed the version from CPAN. The pure CPAN version doesn't play
well on Debian. I removed the CPAN version of File::CacheMmap, installed
the Debian Etch version, and Apache created the session_data file. I'll
contact the Debian maintainer and see if there's any interest in
explaining the discrepancy.

FWIW, I'm not thrilled w/ Debianized Perl modules; I've been attempting
to migrate away from Debianized Perl to CPAN only. There may be some
inherent limitations in that approach.

Cheers,
jec
