Fellow Monasterians

I've spent the last few hours exploring CGI::Application::Plugin::Session and have run into a question of how to access session params by the name of the session.

I was able to get it working with straight CGI::Session:

use CGI::Session;

#initial trip to server
CGI::Session->name("SESSION_ID1");
my $session = new CGI::Session();
$session->param('user' => 'Fred');
print $session->header();

#subsequent trip
CGI::Session->name("SESSION_ID2");
my $session = new CGI::Session();
$session->param('user' => 'Barney');
print $session->header();

#later...
CGI::Session->name('SESSION_ID1');
my $session = new CGI::Session();
my $user_A = $session->param('user');

CGI::Session->name('SESSION_ID2');
my $session = new CGI::Session();
my $user_B = $session->param('user');

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $user_A."<br />";
print $user_B";

But when I try: 

#first trip
$self->session_config(
    DEFAULT_EXPIRY      => '+8h',
    COOKIE_PARAMS       => { -name => 'SESSION_ID1',
                             -expires => '+8h',
                             -path    => '/',
                           },
    SEND_COOKIE         => 1,
 );
 
 $self->session->param('user' => 'Fred');

#later trip
$self->session_config(
    DEFAULT_EXPIRY      => '+8h',
    COOKIE_PARAMS       => { -name => 'SESSION_ID2',
                             -expires => '+8h',
                             -path    => '/',
                           },
    SEND_COOKIE         => 1,
 );
 
 $self->session->param('user' => 'Barney');

I can't figure out if there is a short cut to return: 

print $self->session->param('user');

based on the name of the session. Am I stuck with using 

CGI::Session->name('SESSION_ID1');
my $session = new CGI::Session();
my $user_A = $session->param('user');

CGI::Session->name('SESSION_ID2');
my $session = new CGI::Session();
my $user_B = $session->param('user');

? Or is there some cool way with CAP::Session that I'm missing? Thanks!
