Hi Jason,

You are changing the name of the cookie, but not telling the CGI::Session module
about that change.  I guess the C::A::Session module could be more graceful in
handling this by checking to see if the -name parameter to the cookie has been
changed.  Currently it does not do that check.

All you need to do is tell CGI::Session what your cookie name is and things
should start working for you.

CGI::Session->name("FBM_Account");

And make sure that this is called before you make any call to $self->session,
since that is when the cookie header is set.  It probably makes sense to call
this just before your call to $self->session_config, in cgiapp_init.

Cheers,

Cees
