Yes, setting up a session is a pretty common way to do this, and storing a session key in a cookie or in the url... I am not sure about modules... There may be some in the Apache namespace... dunno.

Update yeah it looks like there is an Apache::Session module, but the docs are broke, so I'm not sure if it is what you want... If you even run apache... :)
