Sergey,

It's frustrating that you haven't followed up on the advice given to you 
of writing some tests. Here are some tests I wrote for the case. Do they 
pass for you when you run these tests in a file?

If they do, your problem is elsewhere, or you need to write a new test 
to share with us that illustrates your problem. If the tests don't pass,
check that you are using the latest version of CGI::Session.

Finally, consider using CGI::Application and 
CGI::Application::Plugin::Session instead! They are a lightweight, 
proven solution to provide a singleton for a CGI::Session object.

#!/usr/bin/perl
package SessionSingleton;

my $session;
sub getInstance
{
       defined $session or $session = CGI::Session->new();
       return $session;
}

use Test::More 'no_plan';
use CGI::Session;

my $session1;

is($session1,undef, "session starts out undef");
$session1 = SessionSingleton->getInstance;
ok($session1, "session is true after getInstance");
my $sid = $session->id;

$session2 = SessionSingleton->getInstance;

is($sid,$session2->id,
    "multiple call to getInstance return the same session ID");
