[cgiapp] CGI::Application::FastCGI -> The page isn't redirecting properly???

[CGI User]

Hi Todd,

In my application session ID has four sources. It is embedded in the template 
$tmpl_sess_id, stored in database $sess_sess_id, derived from URL string as 
$url_sess_id and available via $self->param() function as $sess_id;

This partial piece of code which brought your attention does not represent the 
complete code for the whole session validation algorithm.
I'm sorry for your confusion, but the whole thing works OK if I use 
CGI::Application module, and it doesn't if I use CGI::Application::FastCGI.
That was the primary reason for my initial posting.

Alex
