Hi

Well it appears I hve worked this out. I think the problem was th "mystery" cookie that had no name and blew the routine up. Still don't know where it comes from but appears each time I run. 


sub GetUserSessionCookie
{
    warn("Entered GetUserSessionCookie Sessionname: '$sessionname'"); 
+   
    my $sid;
        my $sessionname = 'CGISESSID'; 
#    # fetch existing cookies
    my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch;
#    warn Dumper \%cookies;
    while ( my ($sessName, $sessId) = each(%cookies) ) {
#       Dumper($sessId);
       if ($sessName eq $sessionname) {   
          $sid = $sessId;   
         }
      }
#     $sid = '12ba7ce0cfeeae8e8a934af6724910e9';
#      $sid = '1492';
#      $sid = 0;
    
    return $sid;
}
