I am attemtpting to use CGI::Application and CGI::Sessions. I am successful in creating and using my sessions, however the deletion of each session does not work as I had thought. I set an expiration time for each session of 5 min. If that window is idle for 5 minutes the session does expire and I am no longer able to read it, however the file still exists. Also, if I close the window the file still exists. Based on my reading of the docs, I thought that the expire function works like the delete function....or I could be missing something entirely. Here is my code 
sub setup {
    my $self = shift;
       my $q = $self->query();
       $self->start_mode('mode1');
    $self->run_modes(
        'mode1'            => 'mode1',
        'mode2'            => 'mode2',
        'mode3'            => 'mode3');    
    
    $self->tmpl_path('template/');    
     
    my $session = new CGI::Session(undef, $q, {Directory=>"sessions"})
+;
    $session->expire('+5m');
    my $session_id = $session->id();    
    $self->param('session' => $session);
}
