It appears to me that CGI::Session (version 4.13) does not actually
support changing the session ID directory via the {Directory=>"/
not_tmp/sessions"} third option to CGI::Session->new().
I have a program that works fine under version 3.95, but under 4.1X,
if I specify the directory, either:
(1) a new session is created in /tmp each time, presumably because
the session file is not placed in /not_tmp/sessions/session_id the
first time, but it is looked for on subsequent invocations.
(2) sometimes, the same cgi session file is created both in /not_tmp/
sessions and in /tmp. In this case, the file does not keep session
information from one session to the next.
The problems with my program vanish if the {Directory=>"/not_tmp"}
option is not used.
I have observed this problem both on MacOSX and Sun Solaris.
