I guess I should have posted my code from the start. Please forgive me of my transgression.

sub cgiapp_init {
        my $self = shift;

        $self->error_mode('error_runmode');
        $CGI::Session::IP_MATCH = 1;
        $self->session_config(
                CGI_SESSION_OPTIONS     => [ "driver:File", $self->que
+ry, { Directory => $CONFIG{sessiondir} } ],
                COOKIE_PARAMS           => {
                        -name           => 'FNBINTRANET',
                        -path           => '/',
                        -secure         => 1,
                        -httponly       => 1,
                },
                SEND_COOKIE             => 1,
        );
}

I've checked all the relevant modules and the only difference was that the working original server was using older modules and the new server was using the latest & greatest on everything. I've updated the original server modules and nothing broke, but the new server is still not working...

The original server IS using db for the sessions. I copied the exact same code over, installed the necessary modules, setup my session dir, and modified the code above to use files instead of db...was there a step I forgot?
