You mention that

...the SID follows the user thru the site.
And also that you're not using cookies (there are reasons not to as you mention).

How do you pass the SID to and get it back from the browser? In the URL, a hidden form field? In what way is

...the session object... no longer recognized.
Can you see the session file or the db record created (whichever you're using)?

I don't use CGI::Session without cookies myself and I don't have a SSL site to hand to play with. Could you post a small snippet that demonstrates the problem you're seeing?

It could be that if you're not using cookies you may not need to use CGI::Session.
