getting session ID/name

I am trying to generate a unique ID based on the session ID and the time.
I found some code in the minivend code that seems to do what I want, but I
can't call it.  I took the code and copied it into a GlobalSub in
minivend.cfg.

The code gets the current time with gmtime and the current session name
with Vend::Session::session_name().  So far so good.  But, it doesn't
work.  The session name is always blank.

How do I get the session name?  I can see it in the URL.  What magical
incantation will get it for me?  I looked all over in the manual and apart
from some tantalizing references related to the [if] tag, I found nothing
that tells me how to access the session variables.

I am using MiniVend 3.12 under Red Hat Linux 6.0.  Perl is version 5.005
something.

Best,
Kyle
