Hi guys, I've been trying to write simple login/logout scripts with CGI::Sessions but I'm not having much luck. So everything compiles and runs ok (using strict etc) but not quite as I expected. Here is my sample code:

sub loadSession($$){
    my ($dbhandle,$cgi) = @_;
    my $session = CGI::Session->load("driver:MySQL", $cgi, {Handle=>$d
+bhandle});
    if ( $session->is_expired && $session->param("logged_in")) {
        displayLoginPage("Your session has expired, please log in agai
+n");
        exit(0);
    }elsif ( $session->is_empty) {
        $session = $session->new("driver:MySQL", $cgi, {Handle=>$dbhan
+dle});
        $session->expire('+1m');
        print $session->header();
        displayLoginPage(undef);
        exit(0);
    }else{
        print $session->header();
    }
    return $session;
}

sub logout($$){
    my($cgi,$dbhandler) = @_;
    my $session = CGI::Session->load("driver:MySQL", $cgi, {Handle=>$d
+bhandler}) or die CGI::Session->errstr;
    $session->clear();
    $session->delete();
}

So the session expires but isn't marked as expired. As in the elsif branch for the empty session is executed not the expired branch. Also when I attempt to logout of the session the session id still seems to be valid. A new session id is not generated (I print them out on each page) for the login page. Can anyone point out the flaws in my logic? I've been through the cpan tutorial but I still amn't getting this.
