Thanks for Data::Dumper, info.

After reading CGI::Session twice, dumper data, started to give clues, and using debugging i could solve my session management problem.

But don't know why still, around 6 out of 10, scenarios fails completely in browser and command line mode. No existing session data is captured, or even when session is set to expire in 5 hours, it still creates new session

$VAR1 = bless( { '_STATUS' => 1, '_OBJECTS' => {}, '_CLAIMED_ID' => un
+def, '_DATA' => { '_SESSION_ID' => undef, '_SESSION_ATIME' => undef, 
+'_SESSION_REMOTE_ADDR' => '127.0.0.1', '_SESSION_CTIME' => undef }, '
+_QUERY' => bless( { '.parameters' => [], 'use_tempfile' => 1, '.chars
+et' => 'ISO-8859-1', '.cookies' => undef, '.fieldnames' => {}, 'param
+' => {}, 'escape' => 1 }, 'CGI' ), '_DRIVER_ARGS' => {}, '_DSN' => { 
+'serializer' => 'default', 'id' => 'md5', 'driver' => 'file' } }, 'CG
+I::Session' ); Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

code of index.pl

my $cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->header();

my $session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
    if ( $session->is_expired ) 
    {      
        print "Your session timed out! Refresh the screen to start new
+ session!";            
        exit(0);
    }
    elsif ( $session->is_empty ) 
    {
        $session = $session->new() or die $session->errstr;
        print $session->header();                   
        print $session->id();
        $session->expire("5h");
        print "<a href='called.pl'>call</a></br></br>";
        print Dumper($session);
        $session->flush();
    }
    else
    {
    print "session found";
    print "<a href='called.pl'>call</a></br></br>";
    }

and code of called page

my $cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->header();
my $session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
print Dumper($session);
print "<a href='index.pl'>index</a></br></br>";
$session->flush();

So, I have to test further, would soon post update on this
