In an ideal world all session mgmt and user authentication would be application level with high granularity - down to each page or function call from the client, every time a request arrives. I know of no current solution, Perl or otherwise, that solves this completely. Would love to see one though.
Yes, this level of authentication can certainly be done. I'm currently involved in a large project, where this is being done, and we even go further. Unfortunally, I can't tell you more.

It's not simple, and it takes large investments. The question isn't "can this level of authentication be done", the question is "how much are you willing to pay?" (pay in a broad sense - mostly costs to hire people).
