HI, I know there are a lot of good perl books out there. I just realised my programming skills are not that great..as ive been using google to do most of my perl code.

You skills aren't too far from removed from great, and your attitude is great :)

See these links here Re: Perl and Fastcgi + template system (confused) like Web Programming: For Beginners and to learn about the internet

and Watch the videos on perlmaven linked here http://szabgab.com/catalys-dancer-mojolicious.html

The documentation for gr8 modules like CGI::Application and CGI::Session does not delve into the depths of how the session variables are managed, so its difficult to get an understanding of the underlying session management. Thats where my actual problem starts, and i'm having to use logging statements everywhere to figure out stuff..

Do you understand cookies? Did you read CGI::Session::Tutorial

See code and my links at Problems with session expiration

Then forget about "use CGI::Session;" because that is low level stuff (like "use CGI", see Re: ModPerl Registry vs Apache Handlers (neither))), you want to use Dancer/Mojolicious... this is higher level easy way ... don't skip reading the other tutorials if you need refresher about HTTP/CGI, but to start writing code stick with mojo or dancer
