Use "our" instead of "my" also for the $dbh. Specially when you are in
strict mode.

Does cookie have the correct id ? It should return a value such a
"1555ABD33F" ... does it the same value of the session that you have
created ?

Another thing you should consider looking for, is to close the session
when you exit your execution, and force writing the content using
flush .
Close the database after you closed the session.

Do you have any warnings or error messages when you use: "use warnings" ?
When using warnings, you can have find a lot of (bad written) details
regarding the Apache::Session module.
