Anybody got experience of using CGI::Session ?
I've written a script, index.cgi, which uses a session to hold variables. The script initially displays a form, and depending on user input, it's re-invoked to display different forms, selected by Submit values and hidden variables.
It works for a couple of steps, then it starts a new session instead of continuing with the existing one, and immediately dies because it can't find the variables it was relying on.
I've got no idea how to debug this. I can see the new session appearing in the session directory, and I can see the new session as a new cookie on my browser. I can't figure out what event causes the new session to start. Any suggestions?
