I am using
CGI::Application;
CGI::Application::Plugin::Session;

for my session handling of my community. However, sometimes I experience a strange bug.

I open up a browser window (window1) and browse to my community webpage without logging in. Then I open a another browser window (window2). I log into my community account in window(2). I go to a section of my community that you need to be logged in to be able to access. I cut the URL which is something like
"http://www.xxxxxx.com/index.cgi?rm=member_info"
and paste it into browser window1. Voila, I am logged into my community in window1 without logging in, this is not my intended behaviour.

The code:
I have a baseclass which in its cgiapp_init class initialize my session with default values.

my $session = $self->session;

It seems like I receive the same sessionID?

I can log in multiple users at the same time from the same computer.
Anybody have a clue?
