That's right. Apache::Session only looks in the top level for changes when
deciding  whether to write session or not. So it was looking at the constraints
hash ref and not seeing any change (its still hash at same address) and it
doesn't look down in the hash for changes.  

Another way to do it is to timestamp the session every time you update it as
mentioned in Apache;:Session manual.

$r->session->{timstamp} = localtime;
or what not.
