I checked on this with the following test. This is the same as t/flush.t in the distribution,
except I've commented out the braces to make it identical to your case.

   use File::Spec;
   use Test::More qw/no_plan/;
   use strict;
   
   use CGI::Session;
   my $dir = File::Spec->catdir('t', 'sessiondata');
   my $id;
   #{
       my $ses = CGI::Session->new(undef,undef,{Directory=> $dir });
       $id = $ses->id();
       ok($id, "found session id");
   #}
   
   ok(-r "$dir/cgisess_".$id, "found session data file");

It fails with 3.95 and 4.02 with Perl 5.8.6.

Thus, I suspect it was your Perl upgrade or another factor that caused the
change in behavior.

If you want, try downgrading CGI::Session to 3.95 and see if that works
for you. ( Based on my test above, it shouldn't ).
