Re: [Cgi-session-user] CGI::Session->new not accepting sid (Cees Hek)

[Henry de J. <he...@hj...>]

I documented a similar behaviour recently on this mailing list and found, 
after one helpful response, that I needed to flush the session --  
$s->flush() -- to ensure that the session was written to the database. 
Apparently, some environments (mine was Windows/Apache) don't do this 
automatically.
