hi, i am trying to use cgi::session, but no luck yet. index.html has form which gets user credentials, matches them with mysql databases values, and if right, then sets a session otherwise shows login.html 
    # create a new session     
    my $session = CGI::Session->new() or die CGI::Session->errstr;    
    print $session->header();    
    #setting session to expire in 1 hour                              
    $session->expire("+1h");
    #further in page
    # logout option    
    print "<a href='logout.cgi'>logout </a></br>";
    # check option    
    print "<a href='check.cgi'>check page</a>"

this page gives output properly, it gnerates session id, but when i click on check page link, it doesn't show me session info and i always get "no session" message. 
# cgi page
my $cgi = CGI->new;
#print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html();
print $cgi->p("hello");
print $cgi->cookie('CGISESSID');
# load session info
my $session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
print $session->header();
if ($session->is_empty) 
{
    print $cgi->p("no session");
    }
    else
    {
    print $cgi->p("<b>session data loaded</b>");
    print $session->name;    
    print $session->id;
    print $session->is_expired;
    }
print $cgi->end_html();

and this is code in logout.cgi 
# Delete the session for good:
my $session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
$session->delete();
$session->flush();
print $session->header(-location=>'http://localhost');
