This is not the fault of CGI::Simple, but of CGI::Session.
CGI::Session will only work if you pass it a real CGI.pm object (it
does an ->isa('CGI') call on the object passed in). What it really
should do instead is check for the existence of a 'cookie' and 'param'
method. It might be worth sending the author of CGI::Session a patch
to fix this.
I ran into this with a few other modules as well, hence I abandoned
using CGI::Simple. It is unfortunate, because CGI.pm has so much
stuff in it that I never use...
