Good suggestions, but both should be unnecessary. CGI::Session uses a
finalizer to ensure the session is closed and all the builtin session stores
update on close. No expires means the cookie lives for the duration of the
browser session.

Your source suggested you may be sending a malformed HTTP response. Inspect
the request and response in Firebug to see: look for the Set-Cookie header
in the response and the Cookie header in subsequent requests.
