The Apache:: in Apache::Session is meant to indicate it works only under
mod_perl. Even if you were in a mod_perl environment Apache::Session isn't
the entire solution; Apache::Session simply stores data in an arbitrary
database, keyed on a token. It's your responsibility to give it a unique
token for a given session. At least, this is how it worked the last time I
looked at Apache::Session.
I don't have an answer to your question. Perhaps someone else here does.
Have you looked on CPAN under the CGI namespace?

The request object returned by the Apache->request() method is specific to
Apache; it's the request record structure used internally by Apache. There
is no true equivalent in the CGI world, though you can get to a lot of the
same information through environmental variables.
