Actually

sessionID   => $SID

is not evaluated at all. It is equalent to

sessionID   => '$SID'


To be evaluated it should be written as

sessionID   => "$SID"

As for evaluation time it is always evaluted in runtime and concerning
HTTP::WebTest internals it is exactly equalent to

sessionID   => sub { "$SID" }
