Are you using mod_perl? If so, I think just storing the user object in
$r->pnotes() would be a lot easier...

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestUtil.html#C_pnotes_

But I guess that wouldn't be shared across multiple Apache child processes.
What method are you thinking of using? Memcached?
