ah. that made a big difference! thanks.
the manpages for Apache::Session::DBI still say that it
uses Apache::Session::DBIStore for its grunt work. whereas
normal db lookup scripts can
use DBI
which then hooks into the needed DBD::<whatever> according to
the datasource pattern; i guess Apache::Session::DBI doesn't do
that... which is why we have to specify
use Apache::Session::Postgres
*and*
...DataSource=>'dbi:Pg:dbname=something'...
which seems a bit unmodular, to coin a phrase.
