in thread CGI and persistent data

I'm not sure this will solve the OP's problem. If the FastCGI program saves its state to some global variables between requests, the next request might be from a different user. I think you'll still need to maintain session state that will be tied to a specific user

    True, you'll need to maintain session state yourself. A trivial example (that has plenty of bugs):

    print "<p>Hello, ", $session{$cookie}->{name}, ", welcome back</p>"
