I found that $session in delete_existing_session() doesn't get the existing session in spite of providing the proper session_id to the sub, which means that $session->delete() doesn't do anything. 

...
# Load existing session     
$session = CGI::Session->load( $exist_sess_id );

$session->delete();

...
...

So, when the control returns back to get_session(), it recognizes the id that was passed in and retrieves the old one..

I am wondering what makes $session = CGI::Session->load( $exist_sess_id ); to fail to retrieve the session.

Any tips would be of great help. Thanks
