Can the user establish two sessions at the same time?

That's up to you. ;-) Nothing prevents it, though such things always take a bit of thought to do well.

I prefer simple solutions, and when I am able to fully satisfy the requirement with 50 rows of code, I am not using the modules, having thousands rows, potentially with bugs.

You're... not using modules? Because they might have bugs? I'm willing to bet that the mainstream modules suggested in this conversation have a better test suite than your code, and the advantage of hundreds or thousands of testers. Sorry to be blunt, but that's a really stupid reason to avoid CPAN.

You wrote that my way is not the great, but you did not write why

Because you were randomly generating data, then checking for collisions. The busier your site becomes under those conditions, the more likely a collision, meaning more re-checks. Your site becomes slower at a non-linear rate -- thus, bad idea.
