<thinks>. Right. On second thought I don't believe they are connected
that way. That also supports my recollection that I tried using
"weakref" to fix the conflict with CGI::Session and it didn't work. 

In any case, as a CGI::Session maintainer, the docs in several places
say to explicitly flush(), which is a fine solution to that problem. 

At the time I had several hours on this debugging tour with the "Dot"
plugin, but perhaps I'll give it a second try now. 

Rhesa: Since you've used it for quite some time how, how have you liked
it?
