At the moment I don't see a direct possibility. You could store the usename
in the session data and iterate over all session to figure out the right
one, but at the moment Apache::Session/SessionX doesn't have the possibility
to iterate over all sessions. Also this would be nice to have.

I plan to build to possibility into 1.3.4 to use the username as session id.
Of course the username must be know to use session data in this case.

Apache::DBI handles multiple databases (also multiple usernames) correctly.
So this should work with Apache::DBI

If you want to have different DB's for session handling, then you have a
problem. Embperl currently only supports one session setup for the whole
server. You can use different EMBPERL_COOKIE_NAME settings, to make sure
your different virtual host, doesn't share the same session.
