No. I think something changed with the 4.00 release which shouldn't

I think there may be something we can change in CGI::Session to fix
this. In the meantime,  call 

$session->flush();

Before your script exits to insure the session is written to disk.

This is supposed to happen automatically, but apparently it works
differently with 4.x.
