Am i correct that you are saying

I am saying you should employ the Dumpering debugging strategy cause I don't see no Dumpering output in your response

Dumpering is debugging step number one

Dumper your CGI object, Dumper your session object, Dumper whatever else thats important

Basic debugging checklist item 4 ( Dumper )

Then realize the problem, or show me so I can realize the problem for you

print $query->escapeHTML( scalar Dumper( $query, $session ) )

Could you please ...

No thanks ; programming is a process, the only way to get a handle on it is to do these steps yourself;

What you posted doesn't compile, which means you didn't run what you posted to figure out how this works -- that it is working --

Which means you're probably trying to debug this problem in your larger code

That is tough/hard way to go about it; you can read more about this scenario in Re^3: CGI::Session "cache" issue
