Even using CGI::Session the "identifying value" is *still* stored on the users computer. They can always modify it.

    Yes, they can.

    But in a well written session module, the identifying value is sufficiently random and from a sufficiently large pool, that they would have to try for a very, very long time before they hit another valid session.

    If you give your sessions consecutive identifying values, then of course you are just asking for trouble...
