Are you sure $::Limit is valid in 5.4.5? Try 

$Vend::SessionID = random_string($Vend::Cfg->{Limit}->{session_id_length});

(The ||= 8 is not really wanted or needed. It will never be set more than
once a session, and the default for random_string is 8 anyway. It just causes
copying for no reason.)
