I solved my problem, based on the code you provided: I put this in my
.vimrc:
:au VimLeave * if exists("run_from_tread") | exe "mksession!
./session.vim" | endif
The variable run_from_tread is set at start, because vim is invoked with
-S Session.vim. The perl script changes directory to a directory dependent on
the text file to read. Hence, Session.vim is exclusive to that file. On
exit, the session is written to session.vim, and the parent script
concatenates ":let run_from_tread=1" with session.vim into Session.vim.
It works, and the normal behaviour of vim (regarding other files) is not
affected.

Thanks.
