If you check the build status of those modules (http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-C.html) you will see that CGI::Session failed some tests, which is why it is not in the archive. You will also see that some of the modules that depend on it failed to build or test because CGI::Session was not present. The modules that depend on CGI::Session that passed, and therefore made it into the archive, did so because they didn't explicitly identify their dependency, and had no tests. I would be reluctant to recommend such modules.
