OK, maybe I spoke a little too soon. I got it to work in c:\windows\temp by adding the IUSR permission with 'full control'. But I didn't want to leave IUSR with full permissions in Windows\temp, so I tried to change the directory to somewhere else, like c:\session. Didn't work. No matter what I do, I can't seem to change the folder it's going to work in, it always creates the file in c:\windows\temp. How do I get it to go somewhere else? My session creation statement is the same as before, with the folder hardcoded: 
$session = new CGI::Session(undef, $sid, {Directory=>'c:\session'}) or
+ die CGI::Session->errstr();

I also don't get any error msg from the die statement.
