This doesn't sound like such a good plan to me.  For one thing,
Cache::FastMmap is mostly implemented in C.

Are you trying to get this working just so you can use the session
module for Catalyst?  Why not just port the session module to use
something else (like MySQL), and then release that as an alternate
session implementation?

I'm working on a module that provides an API consistent with
Cache::Cache over several other (faster) modules, like Cache::FastMmap
and Cache::Memcached.  I don't have something ready to share yet though.
