I am using the cgi object in my creation of the session. 
sub setup{
   my $self = shift;
   my $q = $self->query() #cgi object

#code

   my $session = new CGI::Session(undef, $q, {Directory=>"sessions"});
    $session->expire('+5m');
    my $session_id = $session->id();    
    $self->param('session' => $session);
}

From the CGI::Session::Tutorial docs ...
"If you pass an object, CGI::Session will try to retrieve the session id from either the cookie or query string and initialize the session accordingly. Name of the cookie and query string parameters are assumed to be CGISESSID by default."

I am successful in retrieving a past session, but I'm still hung up on the expiration of the sessions. Again, I thought that after a session expires it deletes the file. You would believe that this should happen if either the time elapsed or the window was closed. However this does not happen. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
