CGI::Session is a fairly common module. I find that it is sometimes confusing, but I would be surprised if it has any major bugs in it. You should probably take another look at what you are doing and if you are still having problems, try included more code a better description of what you are trying to accomplish. There is not much here that anyone could really help with.	[reply]

Do you `load()` your session? `$s = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
