Subject: Creating a new instance of CGI::Session always creates a new session

It is my understanding that, by default, when a new instance of
CGI::Session is created any existing session is continued and no new
session is created. A new session is created only if there is no
currently existing session.

I do not add a new_session key to my options hash when I create my
instance of CGI::Session.  Therefore, I should come under the default
behavior in this regard.  None-the-less, a new session seems to always
be created whenever I create a new instance of CGI::Session (i.e., even
if there is a current session).  This is evidenced by the creation of a
new session file pair in /tmp (by file pair I mean the actual file and
its associated lock file).

Can someone please tell me why this is happening?  I'm tearing what's
left of my hair out.  Thanks for any input.
