This has nothing to do with mod_perl vs cgi
Uhhh... why do you think I asked about that?
Your user-specific data can be saved on the server with a simple database or on clients with cookies
I must have been very unclear. My problems was the size and complexity of my data. It would take time to load it.
SHM access is raw Perl and it's quite fast and easy
SHM works well? Thanks! I've always thought it was generally a bit of a problem (I've only experience with the old sysV). What CPAN-modules do SHM well?

I can accept the SHM costs of (de)serializing, for now. It won't scale to many users or complex data, so I don't know if it is the long time solution.

(Update: Fixed grammar.)
