Hmm... looks like a good use for ::Plugin::DBH  :)

I think this is what is happening: You are trying to initialize
the session with a value from a cookie which doesn't exist, so it's
creating a new session instead. The standard idiom is to initialize
from the CGI object. This will check both the cookie and the CGI params
for a value, and then create a new session if niether is found. So:

 s/$sid,/$self->query,/

See CGI::Session::Tutorial for more detail.
